Environmental expenditure
Funds were allocated for environmental capital and operational
expenditures. These amounted to
R1,3 billion on capital projects
and R460 million on operational environmental activities (2007:
R616 million capital and R362 million operational). The increase in
capital expenditure is due to the capital expansion programme.
The largest component was on air quality management at coal-
fired power stations, water management, rehabilitation at coal
mines and expenditure on environmental impact assessments for
power stations, power line and substation construction projects,
waste and sewage management, rehabilitation of land and control
of vegetation. |
