The Temane gas and energy project in Mozambique in the province of Inhambane has entered construction. The project, is expected to cost US$760m, includes a 450 MW gas-fired power plant and a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and light oil production plant. It also includes a US$200m power transmission line between Temane and Maputo. Commissioning is scheduled in 2024. The project is developed by a consortium between the Mozambican state-owned power utility Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM), Globeleq, which is an Africa-focused independent power producer owned by CDC (70%) and Nordfund (30%), the UK-based infrastructure developer eleQtra and the South African energy and chemical group Sasol. Gas will be supplied by Sasol and the Mozambican national oil and gas company Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) from the PSA gas field and electricity will be sold to EDM under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
