Fernando de Sousa (photo), the Mozambican energy minister announced that Mozambique and South Africa are set to conduct talks on the construction of a gas pipeline between the two countries in November, according to Mozambique’s Minister of Energy, Fernando de Sousa. The talks will involve the relevant state-run firms de Sousa said.
The discussions will revolve around the feasibility studies for the 2,600-km pipeline. The pipeline will connect Mozambique’s Rovuma Basin to the Gauteng region of South Africa at a cost of $ 6 billion. It will satisfy both Mozambican and South African natural gas demand.
The project to build the pipeline will be operated by South Africa’s SacOil, who signed in December 2014 with the Maputo authorities a joint development agreement to facilitate the distribution of Mozambican gas in the region. At the end of February 2016, the agreement to build the pipeline was signed. Other stakeholders in the agreement are Profin, a consortium of the Mozambican private sector, the China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau (CPP) and the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), the pension fund manager of South African officials.
