Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi on 22 August inaugurated the 106MW Maputo combined-cycle gas turbine power plant powered by gas from Sasol’s Pande and Temane fields. It was financed with a loan of up to Y17.269bn ($152m) from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, plus $13m from the government of Mozambique. The plant includes two 40MW aero-derivative LM6000 gas turbines, developed and manufactured by General Electric and Japan’s IHI Corporation, and a 26MW steam turbine. A turnkey engineering, procurement and construction contract was signed in February 2016 by Sumitomo and IHI.
