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.
