Despite setbacks to all three its planned projects along South Africa’s coast, Karpowership does not plan to abandon its work in the country.
Karpowership, the Turkish company seeking to supply 1,220 megawatts of electricity to South Africa, said it doesn’t plan to abandon its work in the country even after setbacks to all three projects.
The request for a 320-megawatt plant in Saldanha on the west coast was suspended pending an investigation into allegations made by an environmental nonprofit. “For three years, Karpowership SA has been subjected to multiple, unfounded allegations about its proposed gas-to-power projects,” the company said in a statement on Monday.
