South African utility Eskom faces a 17 million t coal deficit by 2017 at its coal-fired power plants.
The shortfall is anticipated in 2015 at Matla, Tutuka and Hendrina power stations and in 2016 at Kriel and Arnot Power Stations.

Under a new minerals law, South Africa could declare coal a strategic resource.
