NGP aims to secure power off-takers in Mozambique and the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP).

Ncondezi CEO Hanno Pengilly said: “The board has taken the decision to launch the FS Study for up to 300MW solar PV plus BESS and appoint one of the top technical consultants in solar PV, WSP, to deliver it.

“The solar project represents a significant opportunity to further define the project and crystalise additional value for shareholders.

“The company has taken measured steps to get to this point including the completion of a pre-feasibility study and positive engagement with Mozambique authorities.

“The solar project is uniquely positioned to leverage existing advanced stage development work from the company’s 300MW thermal power project, which is expected to significantly cut development costs and accelerate project delivery with first power potentially on the grid by 2024.”
