Namibian Sun: Mozambique’s Gas Power Station Nearing Completion

Great progress is being made with the construction of a 100 MW natural gas fired power station at Ressano Garcia, on the border between South Africa and Mozambique.

The first of 13 power generation sets arrived at Gigawatt Park in Ressano Garcia, the Mozambican border town, on April 13. Each generating set consists of a 20 cylinder natural gas fuelled Rolls Royce engine manufactured at the Bergen factory in Norway and an ABB generator.
Shipment of the 13 sets from Norway to Richards Bay in South Africa was completed in March and is now being transported by road to Mozambique.

Civil construction of the US$200 million (R2.24 billion) project started in August 2014 with the foundations for the engines being completed last month.
