Kuyasa Mining subsidiary KiPower continues to advance preparations for the construction of a 600 MW power plant some 20 km south-east of Delmas, in Mpumalanga, announcing last month that the draft reports on the pro- ject’s environmental-impact assessment, waste management licence application and atmospheric emissions licence application will become available for public viewing on February 7.

The draft reports will contain studies undertaken by various specialists, the integration of the findings and an environmental manage- ment programme, which will prescribe how the proposed project should be managed before, during and after its proposed construction.

The coal-fired power plant, which will procure coal from the nearby Delmas coal mine, aims to supply a portion of the 42.6 GW of electricity that will be required to service the country’s energy needs by 2030.

It may, subject to several further studies and authorisations, be expanded to produce up to 2 000 MW in the long term.

Required infrastructure will include a coal conveyor between the Delmas colliery and the plant, a limestone conveyor between the plant and the rail line, a water supply pipeline from an existing Rand Water line, an ash disposal facility and an ash conveyor.
