Karpowership looks set to proceed with applications to moor its ship-mounted power plants in Richards Bay and Saldanha.
Karpowership secured permission from South Africa’s environment department to refile an application to moor a ship-mounted power plant in the eastern port of Richards Bay as the company’s stalled plans to affect a 1,220-megawatt electricity supply contract regains momentum.
On Wednesday, the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment dismissed a complaint by a nonprofit against Karpowership’s plan to moor a similar plant at Saldanha on South Africa’s west coast. Public comment must be sought on the impact of the project for at least 30 days, the department said.
In March, its Coega project application was rejected because the national port operator wanted to use the mooring site.
