💨 Abstract

South Africa's coal-fired power stations have been granted limited exemptions from air quality and harmful emissions regulations, but these are not a "blanket reprieve." The government aims to provide electricity while reducing emissions, and the eight power plants receiving exemptions must adhere to strict conditions, such as increased monitoring and health measures. The exemptions range from five years to the plants' decommissioning dates.
