Upheaval is coming to South Africa over the shift away from coal

Feb 17, 2021
A photograph in the entrance hall at Komati Power Station shows the plant in better times, its nine generating units belching steam and smoke into the night sky.
Those days are never coming back: Komati’s sole remaining working unit is facing closure within two years under plans by state power utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. to shut about a quarter of its coal-fired capacity by 2030. Next door at the Goedehoop mine, arrays of solar panels line the main access road, a sign of what may be to come for South Africa’s coal belt.
The blackouts suffered by swathes of the U.S. this week show what’s at stake for even the world’s most advanced economies in getting the transition to cleaner energy right. In South Africa, for decades almost all the electricity needed to power Africa’s most industrialized economy has been produced by a fleet of aging coal-fired plants constructed alongside the mines to the east of Johannesburg. That’s made the province of Mpumalanga, in which Komati is located, one of the most coal-dependent and polluted regions on Earth.

Thousands of jobs in jeopardy as SA moves away from coal

Thousands of jobs in jeopardy as SA moves away from coal
The South African government has committed to reaching net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. In order to achieve this, the Komati Power Station based in Mpumalanga needs to be decommissioned, says Bloomberg. ‘The province of Mpumalanga, in which Komati is located, [is] one of the most coal-dependent and polluted regions on Earth’. The switch to cleaner, renewable energy is essential – but it does come with issues of its own. Decommissioning the coal-fired plants will cost thousands of people their jobs and livelihoods. Head of Eskom’s Just Energy Transition office, Mandy Rambharos told Bloomberg about the communities around the plant. ‘If you look at some of these communities, they have been dependent on the power station and, in some cases, mining for many many decades, generations. You can’t just lock the door, throw away the keys and walk away’. South Africa has already seen a drastic rise in unemployment. Is there an opportunity for the surrounding community and employees? Not to be left behind, but rather to be brought along for the transition into clean energy? – Jarryd Neves
