Other projects being explored:

• the DME is investigating the possibility of an independent power producer building a baseload (probably coal) station for completion before the new nuclear plant is in operation
• possible gas projects in Mozambique and Namibia
• the conversion of the current open-cycle gas turbines to closed-cycle gas turbines, which will increase capacity further
• following recent developments relating to engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) issues, the owner of the coal resource in Botswana is revising its plans to develop phase one of the Mmamabula Energy Project, including alternative configurations for the power station project
