News Release

 

 

Solar Land Agreement

 

9 January 2023: Ncondezi Energy Limited ("Ncondezi" or the "Company") (AIM:NCCL) provides an update on its 300MW solar photovoltaic ("PV") and Battery Energy Storage System ("BESS") project in Tete, Mozambique (the "Solar Project"). 

 

Highlights:

·   Updated land use agreement, Direito do Uso e Aproveitamento da Terra ("DUAT") received, from the Mozambican Government granting exclusive use for solar power plant operations at preferred site

 

·      DUAT covers an area of 950 hectares, sufficient for up to 500MW

 

Ncondezi Chief Executive Officer, Hanno Pengilly said: "Following confirmation of excellent solar resources at our preferred Solar Project site location in Tete Mozambique, we have upgraded our existing exclusive land use rights, DUAT, for the generation of power from solar energy. This is a critical permitting requirement for the project, reflecting both strong local support and the expedited process we are executing since announcing the positive feasibility study last October.

 

An update on our preferred transmission solution to connect to the Mozambican grid is expected in the next 2 months. The Solar Project is strategically positioned from a transmission perspective, having access to existing grid networks with available capacity and multiple evacuation paths in Mozambique and the wider Southern African region."
