The Tanzanian Government has approved development of the $343mn Songo-Songo gas and power project nearly half a decade after it had been conceived, reports Stella Zenkovich. Tenders are expected to be floated by mid-2000. Gas is to be piped from revitalised wells on/near Songo-Songo Island, off the southern coast, to a 112-MW power plant near Dar-es-Salaam. The plant will be operated by Songaz, a joint venture between Canadian companies Ocelot Energy and TransCanada Pipelines. Funding is being provided by the World Bank and EIB, and equity investment is coming from the IFC and the Commonwealth Development Corporation.
