Rukwa Coal to Power Project, Tanzania

The three coal deposits of Mkomolo, Namwele and Muze all lie within the Rukwa Coalfield in south western Tanzania. All three projects are controlled by Edenville Energy and sit in a cluster; Namwele and Mkomolo are adjacent and Muze lies just 12km to the east. The Rukwa Coalfields are strategically located with regards to electrification plan for South Western Tanzania's scheduled new power transmission lines linking the north and south of the country. All three projects lie within 10km the east of the proposed route for the powerline and are some 300 km from the next nearest source of coal at Kwira. The project will see the development of a coal mine and a 100MW mine-mouth power plant.
