Domestic consumers in the region currently rely on imports from neighbouring countries, while large businesses have to resort to expensive diesel generators.
BPC Chief Executive Stefan Schwarzfischer said that "The project will open an opportunity to reduce dependency on power imports from Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia as we shall have our own infrastructure to meet the local demand for electricity."
He added that "The project will provide grid access to all sectors of the economy, with Khoemacau Mining Company already on site, while other sectors ... will benefit from improved supply and reliability."
Khoemacau, which is developing a mine due to produce 50,000 tonnes of copper and 1.4 million ounces of silver a year, has signed up for a 30 MW supply as the project's first customer.
Promoters of the now-mothballed Boseto mine, adjacent to Khoemacau, say they spent USD 3 million every month on diesel for generators. The new line is expected to be completed in 2020.--
-- This comment is not bcos my better half is Tsetswane. I haave for long admired this country for doing its own thingis its own ways. Us Kagutastanis always have to do the Akim and whenever the Akim fails everything gets shelved until kingdom come. Uganda never does development thingis alone unless some chopping external country or business is involved. The Akim Method of National Development advocates for total dependence on OPM&I. Its also called Socialism.
Well, we have a bottomless reservoir of a visions all vested in one lone omnipotent visionary so no need for rest of Ugandans to think for themselves.
Here a single Botswana corporation is seen hellbent on spending a whooping Uganda Sh1,796,729,954,756.27
Forget it. I cant even say the amount loud, nether silent without going dizzy but what I can see is that its a whole lot dick'o money, dude....!
Oh, in case you didn't know, my Chicktionary defines the acronym OPM&I as "Other People's Money and Ideas".
Lol.
