CMEC explores viability of coal-fired power plant in Mozambique
[...]
CMEC is also in final negotiations to develop and take a stake in another coal-fired power plant in Mozambique, this time in the northwest of the country.
Last November Ncondezi Energy Ltd, which is listed on the AIM segment for smaller faster growing companies at the London Stock Exchange, announced that it had signed a non-binding offer with CMEC and General Electric South Africa Ltd. The agreement was signed at a ceremony in Beijing.
Under the agreement, CMEC and General Electric are expected to acquire 60% of the power plant and lead the project financing. Financial close is expected in Q4 2018.
The companies are currently conducting final negotiations for a binding joint development agreement, as well as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and operations and maintenance (O&M) contracts for the development, construction and operation of the 300 MW integrated coal power and open pit mine project in Tete province. Negotiations will be exclusive until April 30 2018.
As well as EPC for the plant, the two companies will build a transmission line to connect the plant to the grid, which will be transferred to Electricidade de Mo�ambique on completion.
Ncondezi currently owns 100% of the Ncondezi Project. The company is developing an integrated thermal coal mine and power plant in phases of 300 MW, which could eventually grow to up to 1,800 MW.
