Mookane Domestic Power Project

The Mookane Domestic Power Project (MDPP) is a proposed 300 megawatt coal-fired power station. The plant, which is also proposed by CIC Energy, would be located near the Mmamabula coal field but cater primarily for the domestic market.

Project consortium
On its website CEC states that in February 2010 the company "signed a Memorandum of Understanding with GCL Projects Limited, an affiliate of Golden Concord Holdings Limited (GCL). Under the proposed project structure, GCL would be the majority equity investor of the MDPP, and affiliates of GCL would act as the construction contractor and operator of the power station. CIC Energy would be a 30% equity holder in the MDPP, and would be responsible for overseeing the development and operation of the mine."

The company stated that while some of the work done in support of its stalled proposed for the 1200 megawatt coal-fired Mmamabula Export Power project (MEP) could be used, it would be based on a different supplying mine and a site adjacent to the proposed MEP project.
