Background
In March 2018, Karpowership signed a contract with Mozambique’s electricity utility company, Electricidade de Mozambique (EdM), to deploy a 125 MW Powership for a period of 10 years.[4] Karpowership has taken necessary actions to enhance the first LNG – to–Power Project in Sub-Saharan Africa via its own LNG assets (FSRU) to be ready for operation in 2021. Karpowership has been supplying 10% of Mozambique’s total electricity needs via 125 MW Karadeniz Powership Mehmet Bey.[5][6][4]The plant is to be retired in 2028.[7]
