China to Finance & Build a Massive New Coal Power Plant in Zimbabwe
ONN – Oakland Note: China To Finance, Build Massive New Coal Power Plant in Zimbabwe
For those who do not think a large market waits for the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal by Phil Tagami and Insight Terminal Solutions’ John Siegel, think again.
The The China Africa Project on YouTube reports:
The Zimbabwean government announced last month that construction of the new $3 billion Sengwa coal power plant will proceed after years of negotiation.
The new 2,800 megawatt plant will be a joint effort between Zimbabwe’s Rio Energy and a consortium of Chinese state-owned enterprises led by the Wuhan-based infrastructure contracting giant China Gezhouba Group.
Gezhouba will be the lead contractor and will also be responsible for raising additional capital. Separately, Power China will build a 250km water pipeline for the plant along with transmission lines. And on the financing side, the Industrial Bank of China will be involved and Sinosure is already on board to provide risk insurance.
Officials say everything’s line up and ready to go which could be good news for electricity starved Zimbabwe that currently produces just over half of the 2,200 megawatts that Zimbabwe needs every day.
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
