Invictus Energy announced that the Cabora Bassa Project partners, comprising Invictus (80%) and One-Gas Resources (Pvt) Limited (20%), have entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Tatanga Energy (Private) Limited to progress gas supply for a ±500 megawatt (MW) Gas to Power plant in the event of a commercial gas discovery from Special Grant 4571 in Muzarabani.
Under the MOU, Invictus and Tatanga have agreed to jointly work together and cooperate with regards to investigating the economic and commercial viability of supplying natural gas from the Cabora Bassa Project to the proposed Gas to Power Plant which will be sold to the national grid and / or to captive clients (i.e. mines, industrial and other large consumers of energy) in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique.
The proposed Gas to Power plant will be built in two phases with the first phase estimated at ±150MW and the second phase consisting of an additional ±350MW. The optimal location of the
plant will be determined by factors including proposed pipeline routings and access to transmission infrastructure including the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP).
Preliminary studies have identified a number of suitable locations that provide the ability to supply electricity to the local grid as well as export customers through the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP).
