The Karpowership deal may have stalled in South Africa, but Eskom has another way to of procuring its power generation.
Eskom is considering buying electricity from a Karpowership plant to be located offshore Mozambique after declining to sign agreements to procure power from facilities the Turkish company planned to moor off the South African coast.
“Discussions with Eskom, as one of the potential off-takers, is still ongoing, but an offer has been submitted for their internal review,” the state-owned Mozambican company sain response to queries. The beleaguered utility, Eskom, which supplies almost all South Africa’s power, can’t meet demand and has been subjecting Africa’s most-industrialized economy to rotational blackouts of 10 hours or more a day.
“Eskom will be undertaking a fair and transparent process to acquire the power,” it said in response to queries, without addressing whether it wants to tap output from the Karpowership facility. “A procurement strategy is being developed,” it said, adding that it has received unsolicited offers.
