Gov�t discontinues Matshelagabedi power plant

The 105MW Matshelagabedi diesel power peaking plant will be discontinued by the end of the year in an effort to bring down the cost of power generation in the country as the Morupule A plant comes on grid.

Delivering the State of Nation Address this week, President Ian Khama said the refurbishment of Morupule A is ongoing and Unit 1 of the plant is currently undergoing commissioning and the refurbishment of all the remaining three units will be completed by the end of December this year.

 “Once Morupule A is up and running, the Matshelagabedi diesel power peaking plant will be discontinued in an effort to bring down the cost of power generation in the country,” he said.
