Tlou Invited to Re-tender

Monday, July 30, 2018

Tlou Energy has been invited to re-tender for the development of a maximum of 100-MW CBM fueled pilot power plants in Botswana. The company is one of only two firms to be invited to re-tender.

The other company being invited to re-tender is a local Botswana company, Sekaname (PTY) Ltd.

A compulsory pre-tender meeting with the government of Botswana will take place on August 9, with the closing date for the receipt of the tender being September 12.

Earlier this year the company received confirmation that Botswana’s Ministry of Mineral Resources Green Technology and Energy Security had requested that the Request for Proposal (RFP) for Development of up to 100 MW of CBM-fueled power plants in Botswana be re-tendered. The initial RFP was issued in early 2017 and Tlou submitted a detailed response to the Ministry in September 2017.

Tlou’s submission outlined a staged development commencing with up to 10MW of generation as well as outlined project feasibility, proposed field development, installation of power generation facilities and supply of power into the grid in Botswana.

Being the most advanced CBM project in Botswana, with gas reserves in place, having environmental approval for upstream development and a mining license secured allowing the company to commence development operations, Tlou is pleased to receive the re-tender document and will now undertake a compressive review of the terms therein.
