Just said that won't be surprised if KIBO are already talking to EDM and a possible reason for Ncondezi delay might be that EDM wants to delve deeper into NCCL project following discussions with KIBO.
Just a speculation but knowing how these things are done - won't be surprised

I am sure KIBO can deliver acceptable tariff,especially if compared to the currently operating HFO plants which charge c30c MWh.
And that will be with local coal rather than imported for hard currency oil! Magufuli is keen on local production!
Lamu plant agreed PPA at US$0.0781 per kWh and when I asked LC recently whether KIBO can deliver similar tariff he just smiled in a very nice way.
Btw Songas produces electricity for c 0.06 per kWh but pays pretty much nothing for the gas, as it comes from the govt royalty quota. An they got the gas plants built, for free!
I am sure KIBO can deliver similar rates to Lamu, especially given that the coal is next to the plant rather than being imported or transported as the case for Lamu.
Also they have too much hydropower, now as as it is.
They need diversification!

I can see the Env and Energy Ministers and a few other familiar faces
On the dam construction. Once it is buit, it usually takes 5-10 yrs to get filled in, if I remember well what I was told when I visited Hoover Dam a few weeks ago.
And that was in the US, where you can get the water from all the snow on the Rockies!
So good 10-12 years before leccy is produced!
And some more from JPM's protege, the Energy Minister

A bit desperate?
Just get the coal project up and running and you can have half of the 2.1 GWh courtesy of KIBO

interesting and chimes with my experience at the KAT agm
LC was very open and keen on discussing any aspect of KAT or KIBO business - really relaxed and kept on talking and talking (SirG - please correct me if I got this wrong)
Quite different from LC from before!
