South Africa has struck a R218 billion energy deal with Turkish company Karpowership to provide South Africa with power

South Africa has struck a R218 billion energy deal with Turkish company Karpowership to provide South Africa with power from Ships. The three floating power stations - which use Liquefied Natural Gas to produce electricity - are expected to dock at Saldanha, Richards Bay and Gqeberha towards the second half of next year. The Dept. of Mineral Resources and Energy has however acknowledged that Karpowership, which will supply 450 megawatts of electricity from gas, does not meet the local content requirement for the ships it will use. Deputy Director General Jacob Mbele says the final agreements are yet to be signed.
