Friday, June 18, 2010

Oil firm BP Botswana has won a multimillion-pula tender to build a 1.6 million-litre fuel storage facility and subsequently supply fuel at Debswana's 90MW power plant at Orapa Mine.

The P850-million power plant, which is currently under construction and is expected to be operational by October, will be BP's second power project in Botswana after it built the one million-litre storage facility at the 70MW power plant in Matshelagabedi near Francistown.

BP, which also supplies fuel to all Debswana mines, Morupule Colliery, BCL and CTO currently pumps around 50, 000 litres of diesel into the 70MW plant installed by international power developing company, APR.
