PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Botswana’s Department of Environmental Affairs has approved ASX-listed African Energy’s 300 MW Sese integrated coal and power project.

The company reported on Thursday that the environmental-impact assessment (EIS) for the first 300 MW integrated power project at Sese would be valid for project initiation within five years.

The approved EIS covers a 1.6-million-tonne-a-year mining operation and coal processing and handling plant, as well as a 300 MW coal-fired power station. The project would also include a water pipeline from the Shase dam, an access road, transmission grid connection as well as camp infrastructure.

African Energy said that with the approval of the EIS, and the recent award of surface rights, as well as the approved water allocation, the company had made significant advances in permitting the first Sese integrated power project.

The project is estimated to host a total of 2.5-billion tonnes of resource.
