  • Coal - Balance Between Supplies to Eskom and Exports

    Coal - Balance Between Supplies to Eskom and Exports

    Coal - balance between supplies to Eskom and exports Written by M Dworzanowski Friday, 01 November 2013 00:00 The South African coal mining industry is very often portrayed as a poor cousin to the gold and platinum sectors. And more often than not, when coal is under the spotlight, the emphasis is on supplies to Eskom. The true contribution of coal to the South African economy and the significant size of the industry are rarely appreciated. The majority of coal mines are still based in Mpumalanga, in the vicinities of Witbank, Middelburg, Belfast, Secunda, and Ermelo. These mines supply numerous Eskom power stations, as well as Sasol’s facilities in Secunda, and they also produce a significant amount of export thermal coal. Coal mining in KwaZulu-Natal is on the decline and no longer significant. There is one coal mine in the Free State – New Vaal, which supplies the Lethabo power station. Limpopo has the very large Grootegeluk coal mine, supplying the Matimba power station and which in due course will supply the new Medupi power station. In the near future the centre of gravity of the South African coal industry will shift from Mpumalanga to Limpopo as coal reserves become depleted in Mpumalanga. However, this shift will not be a simple case of more of the same in just a different location. The Limpopo coalfields are very different to those in Mpumalanga in terms of mining and coal washing. While Grootegeluk is leading the way, new mining projects in Limpopo will require different approaches, and future developments will need innovation and extended project execution.
