Maamba Collieries Ltd., the largest coal mine in Zambia, is seeking permission to sell power to state-run utility Zambia Electricity Supply Corp. before it can proceed with an expansion of its coal-fired electricity plant.
Maamba Collieries, owned by India’s Nava Bharat Ventures Ltd., has submitted a request to sell output from the 300-megawatt expansion to ZESCO, the Energy Regulations Board said today in an e-mailed statement. It already has commitments for the first 300-megawatt phase of the $700 million power plant.
