Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town – Minerals and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has revealed that the Turkish company that is supplying the country with floating power plants to address power shortages is supplying 1 220MW.<\/p>\n

The three powerships are located in three coastal areas stretching from the Eastern Cape to the town of Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n

Karpowership has been a subject of controversy in recent weeks with allegations of impropriety.<\/p>\n

But Mantashe has denied any political interference in the awarding of the contracts.<\/p>\n

Senior officials from the department also told MPs a few weeks ago that the bidding process was fair, competitive and above board.<\/p>\n

The officials said the emergency power procurement was to deal with the problem of load-shedding.<\/p>\n

In his written reply in Parliament from DA MP Kevin Mileham Mantashe said the Turkish company will supply 1 220MW.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe total combined power output\/capacity of the three floating Liquefied Natural Gas Turbine, or Powership, projects appointed as Preferred Bidders under the Risk Mitigation Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPP) is 1 220 MW, broken down between the three; Karpowership SA Coega 450 MW, Karpowership SA Richards Bay 450 MW and Karpowership SA Saldanha 320 MW,\u201d said Mantashe.<\/p>\n

On the cost for each ship to produce Mantashe said: \u201cThe power procured under the RMIPPP will be dispatchable and the seller (the IPP) will be compensated for availability (capacity) for energy output generated following a dispatch instruction from the buyer.<\/p>\n

The cost of the bid by the bidder is inclusive of grid connection costs.<\/p>\n

The cost per KWh in April 2021 terms and assuming a 75% load factor is as follows: \u201cKarpowership SA Coega, R1 359\/KWh, Karpowership SA Richards Bay, R1.389\/KWh, Karpowership SA Saldanah, R1,616\/KWh,\u201d said Mantashe.<\/p>\n
