Why is Botswana building a new 615 MW power station?

Botswana is contemplating building a new 615 MW coal -fired power station near its main generation plant to mitigate generation challenges at the facility. The 600 MW, coal -fired Morupule B power station has never operated at full capacity since construction in 2012 due to frequent breakdowns and is currently undergoing maintenance.

How much does LCOE cost in Gaborone?

The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of the projects will range between $0.08 and $0.10/kWh. The projects will be located in areas like Gaborone, Ramotswe, and Lobatse. The names of the other off-takers will be disclosed once the PPAs are signed.

How many transmission lines does Botswana have?

The Transmission Grid Botswana’s national electricity grid comprises of 1,246 kilometers of 400kV transmission lines, 2,200 kilometers of 220kV lines and 2,162 kilometers of 132kV lines. It further includes a total of 54 substations that facilitate bulk electricity supply to various customer categories.
