Eskom says they fully agree with the protest action taken by Greenpeace outside Megawatt Park in Sandton this morning.
Activists blocked the entrance to the Eskom headquarters with five-tonnes of coal.
The environmental group wants the power utility to stop construction of the Kusile coal-fired power station in Mpumalanga.
Eskom spokesperson, Hilary Joffe says they agree with Greenpeace’s concerns.
She says South Africa needs a secure and affordable supply of electricity in order to address the problem.
Meanwhile, Greenpeace Africa says they want to publicly highlight the fact that coal is destroying the environment.
