Creamer Media's Energy Roundup is a monthly report providing a synopsis of energy-related news from South Africa. The August 2020 roundup covers activities in July 2020, and includes details of State-owned power utility Eskom’s proposal to initiate a formal bidding process to repurpose and repower the Camden, Komati, Grootvlei and Hendrina coal-fired power stations; environmental organisation groundWork’s new court proceedings against Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe and the National Energy Regulator of South Africa; and South African banking group Standard Bank’s financing of the Area 1 liquefied natural gas project, in Mozambique.
The report is a summary of information published in Engineering News and Mining Weekly, as well as of information available in the public domain, and does not purport to provide an analysis of market trends.
