Botswana Stock Exchange and Stock Exchange of Mauritius-listed Shumba Coal has announced the completion of power station design and selection studies and preliminary financial modelling for its 300MW Sechaba Energy Project, to be sited on its Sechaba thermal coal resource. A power transmission scoping study looking at export possibilities was finished this year. Parsons Brinckerhoff (Power) provided studies looking at the site, boiler technology, plant configuration, limestone consumption and conceptual design and description of the facility. Based on this work, the power plant is expected to comprise two 150MW circulating fluidised bed units and will incorporate a subcritical non-reheat steam turbine with dry air cooled condenser technology.
