Prospects become more auspicious for CIC Energy, Aviva

Friday, August 27, 2010

An October meeting of the South African cabinet will consider the recently drafted Second Integrated Resource Plan (IRP2), a vital document, delays of whose approval have frozen the multi-billion Mmamabula Energy Project and its neighbour, the Mmamantswe Project.

Should the South African cabinet approve IRP2, the South African Department of Energy will promulgate the document by November.

The two power projects in eastern Botswana have the potential to produce 2200 megawatts, more than 16 million tonnes of coal per annum and employ thousands of Batswana at construction and operation stages. Canadian group, CIC Energy, is driving Mmamabula, while Australian firm, Aviva, is developing Mmamantswe.
