ECMBC, Nafcoc to appeal DFFE’s decision over Karpowership SA’s EIAs

The Eastern Cape Maritime Business Chamber (ECMBC) and the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Nafcoc) Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB) region on July 5 said that would appeal the decision by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) not to approve Karpowership South Africa’s (SA’s) environmental-impact assessments (EIA) for its three powership-based gas-to-power projects, proposed for development at the ports of Richards Bay, Ngqura and Saldanha Bay. The EIA applications were submitted in October 2020 ahead of the closing date for bidding under the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy’s Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme.
