Key insights
- Karpower, a Turkish subsidiary of Karadeniz Holding Companies, is developing the Maputo Floating Thermoelectric Power Plant Project, which will be anchored near the Port of Matola in Mozambique's Maputo Province. The plant is designed to produce 415MW of energy using natural gas and is expected to operate for a minimum of three years, with the possibility of extension via contract with Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM).
- The project involves a partnership where Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) serves as the primary customer and the transporter of the energy to end users. Physical infrastructure includes a 3km gas pipeline from the CTM (Maputo Thermal Power Station) to the plant in the Espírito Santo Estuary, and a 4km Power Transmission Line connecting the plant to the 275KV substation in Matola. The transmission line passes through the Fomento and Matola A neighbourhoods and may impact the Luis Cabral neighbourhood.
