The South African utility is in talks with Electricidade de Mocambique for buying the output from a 415MW Karpowership power station, which will be mounted on a ship stationed in Maputo Bay and burn low-sulfur oil.
“Discussions with Eskom, as one of the potential offtakers, are ongoing and an offer has been submitted for their internal review,” the state-owned Mozambican company said in a response to queries.
The beleaguered utility, which supplies almost all South Africa’s power, can’t meet demand and has been subjecting the continent’s most-industrialized economy to rotational blackouts of 10 hours or more a day. “Eskom will be undertaking a fair and transparent process to acquire,” that power, it said in a response to queries ,without addressing whether it is wants to tap output from the Karpowership facility.
The Maputo plant, which adds to a smaller facility operated by the Turkish company off Nacala in northern Mozambique, is expected to get environmental approval in June and start operating in October, EDM said. Karpowership confirmed the October target.
