Eskom operates 25 power plants across 1 country, with a combined installed capacity of 45,098 MW. Its plants with asset-level emissions data total 184,260,328 t CO₂/yr.
Eskom is represented here as an asset portfolio, not just a company label. The visible fleet spans 1 country; the largest concentration is South Africa (25).
The fuel mix by asset count is coal (14), hydro (4), gas (2), oil (2). The largest listed asset is Kusile Power Station in South Africa (4,800 MW), and the mean listed unit size is about 1,947 MW across units with capacity data.
CO₂ coverage is source-labelled: 16 plants have a reported or modelled CO₂ value in the dataset, including 0 measured records. Missing values remain blank rather than inferred as company totals.
Method: plant-level records are grouped by owner/operator label, then aggregated by country, fuel, capacity and CO₂ provenance.
