Another Red Light for Kudu?

Wednesday, August 15, 2018

The long-delayed Kudu gas-to-power in Namibia may never see the light of day. According to Tom Alweendo ,the country’s energy minister, the project may not be viable.

Speaking on state broadcaster, Namibia Broadcasting Corp., Alweendo said he was not sure the project would take off after years of delays due to the related export agreements.

Namibia’s offshore Kudu Gas Fields have proven and probable recoverable reserves estimated at more than 3.3 Tcf and could drastically reduce the country’s dependence on imported power.However, the project has been delayed for more than two decades and has also seen a number of firms participating in the project come and go over that time.
