Botswana: Morupule B to take three years to repair


Issue 317 - 11 Feb 2016 | 1 minute read

Botswana’s minerals, energy and water resources minister Kitso Mokaila has told parliament that boilers at the 600MW Morupule B power plant are expected to take three years to repair. The Botswana Press Agency quoted Mokaila as saying that because of construction delays the 7.4bn pula ($650m) coal power plant was still in the 24-month liability period in which the contractor is responsible for fixing defects. This is due to end in June, but will be extended to allow engineering, procurement and construction contractor China National Electric Engineering Company (CNEEC) to fix the problems.
