Technical FAQs 3

Why is Botswana building a new 615 MW power station?

Botswana is contemplating building a new 615 MW coal -fired power station near its main generation plant to mitigate generation challenges at the facility. The 600 MW, coal -fired Morupule B power station has never operated at full capacity since construction in 2012 due to frequent breakdowns and is currently undergoing maintenance.

Will Botswana build a new coal-fired power plant?

Faced with persistent generation challenges at its flagship Morupule B power station, Botswana is considering the construction of a new 615-megawatt coal-fired power plant. The move comes as the troubled Morupule B, a 600-megawatt facility built in 2012, continues to operate below capacity due to frequent breakdowns and ongoing maintenance.

What is wrong with the Morupule B Power Station?

The Morupule B power station, intended to be a cornerstone of Botswana’s energy independence, has been plagued by technical issues since its inception. These persistent problems have prevented the plant from operating at its full capacity, leading to concerns about the country’s energy security.
