Karpowership SA won the preferred bidder status for three power generation projects in Coega, Richards Bay and Saldanha Bay, and promised to inject R18 billion in investment directly into local communities.
“We have always maintained that we welcome any kind of support and investment offered to the community. If the project promises to create jobs, skills development and partnership with SMMEs, we want it,” Nzimande said.
“It will empower the youth. We are concerned about the safety issues, but there are regulations which should be followed to protect the environment.” DA spokesperson on Mineral Resources and Energy, Kevin Mileham, condemned Nersa’s decision. He said it was public knowledge that Karpowership did not have environmental approval, the appropriate permits from the National Ports Authority, and that Eskom had not signed power purchase agreements with them.
