Contract For Coal-bed Methane Project Sealed

Last year, Kalahari Energy and its partners beat a field of 33 bidders for a multi-million pula tender towards the Botswana Power Corporation's (BPC) 250-megawatt Independent Power Producer (IPP) station.

Once commissioned, the IPP will be part of the BPC's short-term interventions to stave off the impact of the prevailing power supply shortage in Botswana. Under the contract, Kalahari Energy will build, own and operate the coal-bed methane-powered gas production and processing station that is anticipated to become the largest of its kind in the world.
