2021-11-17
South Africa produced 19.3 million tonnes of coal in September, down 8.9 percent from a year earlier and 3.2 percent from the previous month, the fifth consecutive monthly decline, according to government data.
South Africa produced 175 million tons of coal in the january-September period, the lowest level for the same period in the past five years, down 7.4% year-on-year and 10.3% from 2019. The possible impact of La Nina weather could put further pressure on South African coal production.
Low export coal supplies due to rail capacity constraints were also a major constraint on South African coal production, despite seasonal weakness in electricity demand.
South Africa's domestic electricity demand has been lower than a year ago since September. So far this year (to November 7), South Africa's electricity demand was 180.5 billion kilowatt-hours, down 4.3 percent from the same period in 2019, despite a 2.1 percent year-on-year increase, according to Eskom.
In addition, due to the derailment accident, power failure, bad weather and other factors, South Africa's domestic railway capacity is limited, this year from January to September, South Africa's railway coal transport volume is low operation. South African coal exports are expected to hit their lowest level in 15 years in 2021.
