“We are currently preparing the property for the arrival of the 20MW generators. A total of 20 generators and 10 fuel tanks will be installed in the coming weeks”

“The new site, PP MW-20 has been cleared, and a combination of excavation, concrete works, street light installations, fencing and construction are being expedited simultaneously to develop the infrastructure for PP MW-20. The land is being surfaced with gravel as the property is being prepped for streets and fencing to ensure a smooth set-up and installation process upon arrival of the generators.

This includes the following:

• Concrete beams have been installed for the 20-ft Containerized Generators; (20 x 1.25MW installed capacity / each).

• A mini sub-station for the high-voltage switch gear and generator monitoring is also being constructed onsite. This is to make it possible to interconnect the mid-term plant, by means of transmission cables, with the existing grid.

• The infrastructure for streetlights is being installed for the access road, and throughout the property.

• A second plateau is also being prepped for the 10 fuel tanks consisting of 5 compartments”
