Swaziland/Ghana: Zoetic progress

The US’s Zoetic Global has signed a memorandum of understanding with Swaziland Electricity Company to install up to 200MW of hydrokinetic units at the country’s dams. Zoetic’s technical team and an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, whose name has not yet been released, hope to carry out assessments in September and October to determine the capacity to be installed at each dam, most likely Mnjoli, Maguga and Luphohlo. Negotiations over a power purchase agreement (PPA) will run in parallel.
