Karpowership secured permission from South Africa’s environment department to refile its bid application.
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. While Karpowership won a government tender in March 2021 to provide electricity from ships in those two ports as well as one at Coega in the Eastern Cape province, its plans have been mired in lawsuits and environmental challenges.
