Elitheni Coal Project, Indwe, Eastern Cape Elitheni is another IPSA development project which is being accelerated to come on stream as soon as possible. This project is now a 500 MW mine mouth coal-fired project using state of the art clean coal technology, one of the first such plants planned by the private sector for South Africa. It was originally envisaged as a 400 MW project, but was increased to 500 MW due to favourable coal reserve reports. The plant is to be built at Indwe, site of one of the earliest coal deposits brought into production in South Africa. Situated in the Eastern Cape north of both Port Elizabeth and East London, the coal reserve was worked in the first part of the twentieth century. IPSA has exclusive first rights to all coal from Elitheni that is used for electricity production and management is now carrying out the environmental impact assessment and engineering studies required to obtain regulatory approval for the plant. |
