Question NW2645 to the Minister of Public Enterprises
26 September 2017 - NW2645
Mazzone, Ms NW to ask the Minister of Public Enterprises
What (a) are the names of the current coal suppliers for each of Eskom’s coal power stations, (b) is the quantity of coal assigned to each supplier and (c) is the length of the contract in each case
Reply:
The majority of coal supply agreements (CSA) are contracted on an energy basis (Giga joules). Some CSAs including the cost-plus, and a few fixed-price are already on a volume basis (Tonnes). In order to provide the quantity of coal, CSA’s on an energy basis had to be converted to tonnes, using the contracted and expected calorific value.
Furthermore, terms and conditions of the CSA provide flexibility in the volumes delivered to each power station, accommodating operational requirements such as the actual power station’s burn requirements.
