CIC Energy shifts focus to 300 MW station

It is expected that supplies from the 300 megawatt station, dubbed the Mookane Domestic Power Project (MDPP) will be sold to the Botswana Power Corporation, giving the Canadian company its first taste of profit from its massive coalfield. With CIC Energy's shareholders eager for their investments to start bearing fruit and the company's cash flow taking a beating from delays in the Mmamabula Energy Project, the MDPP has emerged as a win-win solution for the Canadian company and Botswana, whose supply/demand balance is precarious.

CIC Energy management revealed that the focus on the 300 MW power station was influenced by the need to move away from a reliance on the Mmamabula Energy Project (MEP).
