Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd., South Africa’s state-owned utility, plans to open 5-10 megawatt solar plants at its coal-fired stations from 2013 to reduce emissions.

The utility, which provides about 95 percent of the country’s electricity, will make a final business case for the plants by the first quarter of 2012, Corporate Services Managing Director Steve Lennon said today in an interview.
