Govt considers tariff offer for 300MW station

Friday, October 22, 2010

Government is considering a tariff offer from the developers of the 300-megawatt Mookane Domestic Power Project (MDPP) which, if approved, will result in the construction of Botswana's largest power station by the third quarter of 2011.

CIC Energy and Golden Concord Limited (GCL), MDPP's equity partners, are hoping to receive feedback from Government by March next year on the commercial offer they submitted on August 27, 2010.

On September 7, the partners submitted a licence for the 1.3 million tonne per annum coal mine that will support the power station, while the Department of Environmental Affairs is perusing the Environmental Impact Assessment for the project.
