These prospects follow on from the progress made in building the infrastructure and assembling the equipment, which is running at a rapid pace.
Reinforcing these improvements is the progress made on improving the production sharing agreement signed by Suid Afrikaanse Steenkool en Olie – South African Coal and Oil (SASOL).
The agreement provides for the construction of a project that should guarantee the production of 23 million gigajoules of gas per year, which will then be channeled to the Temane Thermal Power Station to generate energy.
The assurances were recently given by Samir Salé, Business Development Director of Globeleq, the company that led the CTT project, during a meeting organized by the Inhambane Provincial Government with the aim of assessing the stage of implementation of the project, as well as the construction of the natural and domestic gas plant.
Regarding the progress of the works, Samir Salé said that they were running at a positive 87 percent.
He highlighted the installation of the foundations, the completion of the structures of the main buildings, as well as the start of mechanical and electronic activities.
He also praised the completion of the Inhassoro jetty and the progress of the work to support the temporary bridge over the Govuro River, as this would help to guarantee the transportation of the material
by sea from Maputo to Inhassoro.
With an investment of 652.3 million US dollars, CTT will produce 450 megawatts of energy in a combined cycle generation model based on natural gas, which will be supplied to Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) by SASOL for distribution on the national market.
Also noteworthy was the progress made on the project to implement the Temane to Maputo Electricity Transmission Line.
Bruno Baptista, who is responsible for these works, says that of the 1127 towers planned, at least 150 have already been erected, covering a distance of 250 of the 560 kilometers of the defined electricity transmission line.
