Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Tlou Energy Ltd has confirmed that the contract for the construction of the transmission line to connect the Lesedi Power Project to the Botswana’s electricity grid has been signed.<\/p>\n

Transmission line construction<\/b><\/p>\n

The Lesedi Power Project is located approximately 100 km from the existing electricity grid in Botswana. The first stage of development will be the erection of wooden poles fitted with an overhead 66 kV transmission line, capable of supplying up to 25 MW of power into the grid.<\/p>\n

The line will commence at Lesedi and run across predominantly flat, arid terrain. The final ~5 km traverse the outskirts of the Serowe township, where the line will join the existing grid.<\/p>\n

Zismo Engineering Pty Ltd has been engaged to construct the transmission line. Based in Botswana, Zismo is an experienced, electrical engineering, contracting, automation and refurbishment company.<\/p>\n

Zismo expect to mobilise plant and equipment on site in the coming weeks. The project is expected to take approximately 15 months to complete. The company will provide further updates as the line progresses.<\/p>\n

Tlou’s Managing Director, Tony Gilby, commented: \u201cCommencement of transmission line construction represents a new and exciting phase for the company aimed at delivering on our huge gas-to-power potential and starting the monetisation process for our considerable gas reserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe very much look forward to working with Zismo on transmission line construction and achieving first revenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has taken a long time but what has been achieved to this point is outstanding. We are extremely grateful to our stakeholders and investors for staying the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving secured the first tranche of BPOPF funds allowing us to get Zismo started on the transmission line we are now progressing additional power off-takers as well as exploring further ways of monetising our enormous gas reserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe existing two production pods continue to flow gas and perform in line with expectations given these are only two pods in a very large basin. Additional wells should assist the dewatering process and result in higher gas flow rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cTlou has 100% ownership of a very large quantity of gas which will become increasingly valuable with time as a cleaner and reliable energy source in this part of Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cStep by step, we are making solid progress towards becoming a leading clean energy supplier in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Substation construction<\/b><\/p>\n

In addition to the overhead lines, substations will be installed at Lesedi and Serowe. The Lesedi substation will integrate the generation assets with the transmission line and the Serowe substation will tie in with Botswana Power Corporation’s existing infrastructure. This work will be completed by OptiPower, a division of Murray & Roberts Ltd.<\/p>\n

The substation contract is due to be signed later, with completion scheduled to tie in with completion of the overhead lines.<\/p>\n
