The CTM Maputo site faces the river mouth to Maputo Bay, however, the shore in front of the site is a
tidal flat with mangroves so there is no possibility of direct unloading from the river.
Therefore, heavy equipment for the Project, such as the main transformer and GT, which weigh
approximately 100 tons, should be unloaded at Port Maputo and transported by road to the site.
8-4
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
(Source: MPDC)
There is no lifting equipment for 100-ton class cargo at Port Maputo, therefore, heavy equipment
should be transported by a heavy-lift ship.
8-5
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
The weight and size of heavy equipment, such as the main transformer and GT, exceed the above
limits. In such a case, the transportation method (e.g., using multi-axle trailers designed for
super-heavy cargo) based on a road survey should be proposed to National Roads Administration
(“ANE”) for their approval.
It should be noted that the special multi-axle trailer necessary for the transportation of super-heavy
equipment is not available in Mozambique, and needs to be arranged from South Africa.
Figure 8.2-2 Transportation Route from Port Maputo to CTM Maputo Site
8-6
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
This route, including two crossovers (see Figure 8.2-3 and Figure 8.2-4), is on major trunk roads with
heavy daily traffic. Therefore, it is considered that the heaviest equipment, such as the main
transformer and GT, can be transported by special multi-axle trailer designed for super-heavy cargo.
As mentioned in the next section, there is a plan to construct the Maputo Ring Road parallel to EN2. If
the construction of Maputo Ring Road is completed before the construction of the new power plant,
the transportation route will be changed.
8-7
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
Figure 8.2-6 shows the route of Section 6 assumed by the JICA Study Team based on information
from Maputo Sul and satellite images. Section 6 is the construction of a new 5.5-km long
four-lane road parallel to EN2 between the roundabout in Maputo city and the tollgate at Matola.
The CTM Maputo site is located around the midpoint of Section 6.

The north corner of the CTM Maputo site currently reserved for the future gas station to supply
natural gas to the new power plant
The existing water pump station considered as the tie-in point for water supply to the new power
plant
Under these circumstances, the progress of the Maputo Ring Road project should be carefully
monitored for the construction of the new power plant.
Methods and procedures of the procurement for public works in Mozambique are stipulated by Decree
No.15/2010. However, it stipulates that this decree is not applicable to projects funded by other
countries or multilateral financing organizations.
According to the interviews with construction companies based in Maputo and from EDM, the
projects funded by such overseas assistance, the International Federation of Consulting Engineers
(“FIDIC”) standards and/or World Bank’s guidelines are normally used for the procurement of
consultants and contractors.
8-10
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
As mentioned above, FIDIC standards are largely used for the procurement of consultants and
contractors. Therefore, the following JICA standard documents, also based on FIDIC standards, will
be used for the procurement of a consultant and contractor for this Project.
For the procurement of consultant:
Standard Request for Proposals under Japanese ODA Loans
- Selection of Consultants (October 2012)
For the procurement of contractor:
Standard Bidding Documents under Japanese ODA Loans
- Procurement of Plant Design, Supply and Installation (February 2013)
Guidelines
Guidelines for The Employment of Consultants under Japanese ODA Loans (April 2012)
Guidelines for Procurement under Japanese ODA Loans (April 2012)
According to the JICA guidelines, the consultant will be selected by the QCBS (Quality and Cost Based
Selection) method through the process of the following activities:
(a) Preparation of a short list of consultants
(b) Preparation of the Request for Proposal
(c) Invitation to submit proposals
(d) Evaluation of proposals
(e) Negotiation and conclusion of a contract
These activities for the selection of consultant may commence after the Japanese government pledges an
ODA loan to this Project.

The management of the construction work consists of quality control, process control and safety
control. In order to carry out these three control items, it is necessary to establish an organization
within EDM that will supervise the power plant construction work.
1) Establishment of PIU
EDM has proposed the organization as shown below, to install a PIU directly under the CEO. PIU will
play the central role of implementation of this project.
Generation
AP-Central
Transmission

8-12
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
2) Organization of PIU
PIU will consist of a Project Manager, Deputy Project Manager and two sections of an Engineering/
Construction Group and Commissioning Group, and a Consultant as an adviser. The Engineering/
Construction Group will conduct quality control and process management of detailed design and
construction of the CCGT to be conducted by contractors with the assistance of consultants. Through
operating the business, it will perform technology acquisition-related maintenance on the combined
cycle power plant. Commissioning Group equipment by itself, it is implemented in conjunction with
overall plant commissioning contractor of it would acquire of operating instructions with the operation
of the combined cycle power plant by itself
It is important to establish an organization which is small and can take quick and flexible action with
certain responsibility given to the Project Manager of PIU (e.g., Project Manager has the right to
purchase goods under USD 1 Million). Consultants to be hired as engineers, can play a critical role in
technically supporting the entire organization of PIU.

EDM will check and approve the contents of the contractor’s design with support provided by the
consultant. If the contractor’s design is unsatisfactory, EDM will give the contractor a written request
of correction. A witnessed inspection will be carried out with regard to the major equipment before
being shipped from the factory to ensure that the required performances are satisfied.
During the construction work, EDM will determine important check items with the contractor, and
give confirmation in the process of work and approvals when necessary. If any defects are found,
EDM will give the contractor a written request of correction.
In the commissioning phase, the contractor will first be asked to submit commissioning instructions
for each device and each facility. After checking and approving them, EDM will carry out unit
commissioning of each device and each facility to ensure that they can perform as designed. If any
defects are found, EDM will give the contractor a written request of correction.
In the comprehensive plant commissioning phase, the output, efficiency and operational performance
in the commissioning specifications should be confirmed to be those which are required by the plant.
Any defects in the design, construction and commissioning phases must be listed and monitored in
order to eliminate them.

2) Maintenance Management
(a) Daily maintenance
The most important part in the maintenance management of equipment of the PS is to perform careful
daily maintenance. In Heinrich’s Principle shown below, it is said that 29 disasters with light injury
will occur when there are 300 events where sudden fear is felt (bud of the disaster) behind the
occurrence of one serious injury. This is an experimental rule in work accidents, but it can also apply
to daily maintenance.
(1)
Severe
Troubles
(29)
Un-Repaired
Minor Trouble & Disaster
(300)
The base of daily maintenance is to discover any small problems in the early stages and take
preventative measures. Small problems hide in various places over a widespread area. The detection of
any abnormalities (vibration, noise, bad smells, oil leakages, etc.), changes of operation status
standards, should be frequently noted in daily inspection tours. Daily visual checks are important. The
technique of discovering problems is based on guesswork, hunches and long experience, and it is a
technique developed on site through on the job training by building up cooperation between
experienced and young staff.
Also, in daily maintenance, it is important to check monitoring instruments, as there is no point in
conducting daily maintenance if monitoring instruments do not function normally. Therefore, it is
necessary to correctly calibrate monitoring instruments in the early stages.
In particular, for setting the schedules of periodic inspections and maintenance, consideration should
be given to the actual performance of other IPP plants, ensuring safety on site (minimization of
vertical work, open inspection and maintenance place and work environment), the operation rate of
overhead cranes, etc., and the promotion of the streaming of work and shortening of processes as the
object in which parallel decomposition can be conducted. Also, it is important to boost the morale of
workers and make them compete against each other in striving for improvements of quality control by
adopting a system of bonuses and financial incentives if the construction period can be shortened.
In addition, at planned stoppages, it is important to conduct visual inspections of the PS, such as
checks of the remaining work of daily repairs planned to be conducted during the stoppages, the
condition of parts which were repaired temporarily in the previous periodic inspection and
maintenance work, and parts which were left unprepared however changes had been observed, and
reflect the repair time to the next stoppage plan, or future stoppage plans.
As for problematic parts which are found during the periodic inspections, if repair materials cannot be
prepared, then emergency measures must be taken. For these emergency measures, if the part
reliability until the next periodic inspection and maintenance cannot be secured, then permanent
measures must be taken using the next planned stoppage. On the other hand, if the problematic parts
where the emergency measures were taken were used until the next periodic inspection and
maintenance work, the relevant parts must be checked at the planned stoppage, and the investigation
continued to check the trend data of any changes.
8-24
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
3) Operation management
The base of operation management is to strictly keep the reference standard operation. If any operation
status standards deviate from reference standards, engineers of the electricity generation group and
repair staff shall investigate the cause and take reform measures.
8-25
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
checks, is assisted by the data from the documentation functions of the heat efficiency workstation,
such as daily, monthly, quarterly and yearly reports.
(e) Management of water and lubricating oil which are used in the PS
To operate the PS stably, a large amount of water, lubricating oil, hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas will
be used daily. In order to establish a medium- and long-term consumption plan, the amount, etc., of
each of the following must be estimated: annual consumption of pure water, rate of HRSG makeup
water, product name and amount of injected agent in HRSG feed water, resin amount for the
manufacturing equipment of pure water, product name and amount of injected agent in HRSG boiler
water, amount of cooling water of accessories, amount of GT/ST lubricating oil, amount of other
lubricating oil for accessories, exchange amount of fire extinguisher agents, amount of hydrogen gas
for cooling the electric generator/nitrogen gas for substitution, consumption of hydrogen gas during
normal operation, and exchange amount of hydrogen gas in periodic inspections and maintenance.

information.
(4) Future Technological Levels Required in the Maintenance Department and How to Acquire
Technology
To implement periodic checks using only PS staff, it is necessary to train technicians to have the same
levels of technical knowledge as technical instructors, special inspectors (e.g., nondestructive test,
remaining life assessment, etc.) and specialist labor (e.g., special processing and welding, low-alloy
steel – Steel Use Stainless (“SUS”) dissimilar metal joint welding, welding of large diameter pipes,
annealing operation of welding area, etc.). The methods to acquire these technologies are as follows.
8-29
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
For Ultrasonic Testing (“UT”) inspections, besides using simple measuring instruments in which the
measured results are displayed digitally, such as instruments for measuring the wall thickness of boiler
tubes, angle beam techniques, use of plural sensing terminals in which inside flaws of materials can be
evaluated, radiograph examinations, etc., are adopted. Currently, there are no experts in the country
that can use this technology, and the country is completely dependent on overseas experts in relation
to this technology. As a method used to judge the life of equipment, the photomicrography of metal
8-30
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
structures is also necessary technology to gain. A long- term vision is required for the future about
how much diagnosis technology used in electric power facilities in the country will be developed.
Three months prior to the periodic check, the maintenance department should hold a joint conference
with the operation department and the daily maintenance department. The maintenance department
should explain the contents of the next periodic check and maintenance construction, obtaining
agreement from the operation department and the daily maintenance department. Total agreement
should be reflected in the program for the next periodic check and maintenance construction. Then, to
avoid any oversights in the contents of construction, e.g., about areas whose standards of operating
state deviates from the planned standards and frequent alarms, etc., the staff in charge of each field
should report the current situation. In particular, all three departments should confirm the current
situation of the following: untreated lapses of daily maintenance which were issued by the operation
department of the PS, standards which are close to the limit standards judging from the operating state
standards, e.g., vibration standards of rotating equipment, points where the metal temperatures of hot
areas are close to the warning standards, and systems in which differential pressures between the front
pressure gauges and the rear ones are large, etc.
One month prior to the periodic check, the three departments should hold another conference to
conduct the final confirmation on whether there are any additional checks and maintenance required.
The maintenance department should recheck ordered spare articles, parts which should be newly
ordered, consumable supplies (e.g., general purpose articles such as gasket packing, sheet packing,
valve gland packing, packing of pump shaft seal parts, etc., and special components) and confirm
whether or not there are any omissions.
8-31
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
Furthermore, the status of the drafting and procedures of the construction schedule, worker
deployment schedule, number of outsourced workers for each job, equipment for construction,
nondestructive tests, equipment for special welding, etc., for each part, GT, ST, HRSG, generator and
Instrumentation & Control (“I&C”) should all be confirmed.
The O&M leaders shall collect data at each stage, such as the assembly of equipment, opening
measuring methods in assembling and acceptable standards, sequence check before the single test after
assembly, general security test, load test, etc., and take digital photographs of the areas of which they
are in charge. The O&M leaders shall attach such photographs to the manufacturer’s instruction books
in order to visualize each stage. These instruction books are to be used for the training of O&M staff at
the PS and OJT material of junior staff. The documentation and data from the period of the
construction work should be stored on an OA server (such data and documentation should also be
received in electronic form).
The contract system with the manufacturers has not been decided yet. Even if the full-turnkey system
will be adopted, the PS shall prepare an electric generation preparation group, subject to manufacturer
start-up, and receive OJT of practical operation. In particular, the sequence test shall provide the
chance to check the circuit and functions, and not only the members of the electric generation
preparation group but also those of the electricity group and I&C group in the repair department shall
attend such sequence test.
In the unit testing of accessories, after conducting the inching test under the condition where coupling
is separated, the unit testing after direct coupling shall be conducted. The record shall be stored on the
OA server because the centering record in coupling shall become the pace of subsequent maintenance.
To promote automation, in many systems motor valves shall be used, and the records of setting
positions of torque switch and limit switch shall be stored. It is necessary to accurately take over the
know-how of the manufacturer because the full closed position in cold is different from that in warm.
8-32
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
The staff of the PS should attend all of the following: burning adjustment, start/ stop test, runback test,
load control test, load rejection test, general test of the system, AC/ DC power-off test, and other tests
which shall be conducted in the stage of the HRSG water pressure test and load test after unit testing
of accessories. All data, drawings and other documentation relating to test plans, preparation measures
for tests, command structures of tests, responsible persons for stopping of tests and the operation of
fuel shutoff valve switches, shall be stored and used as reference in the security tests after subsequent
MOH.
8-33
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
subordinates in OJT. Moreover, to improve the level of staff that shall play a central role, internships
in relevant facilities inside and outside the company shall be carefully planned.
1) Organizational framework
In parallel to the management level, a position of deputy director in charge of environment, safety, and
quality control should be introduced within the organizational framework on the plant level, to
actually collect and coordinate information in this area that exists in the organization.
2) Management structure
The aforementioned position is critical in playing an important role in gathering and analyzing
environmental data through day-to-day operations, such as setting goals of the PS and assessing and
reviewing performances. The position of deputy director will have complete responsibility in the
immediate provision of information to the director and executive officers of the PS as well as to the
Chief Officer in Charge of Environment at HQ.
8-34
Preparatory Study on Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
3) Support measures
(a) Corporate ethics
The position of Chief Officer in Charge of Environment has acute responsibility in instilling corporate
ethics in all employees through organizing training on the proper treatment and submission of all
information in the correct manner, including environmental data, so that falsification of data does not
occur within the PS’s operation.

PS, making the PS open to the public, i.e., construction of a usable PS, and harmonizing with the local
community with an expansive PS, and implement these policies in all areas of construction and
operation.
In the construction of PSs, it is essential to preserve and create the natural environment by conserving
the existing green spaces as much as possible and by planting trees onsite to coexist with the local
community. The specific measures to achieve these goals are:
Build a popular PS: By planting many trees onsite and aiming at developing a PS with a lot
of greenery to contribute to the expansion of building a healthy and productive environment for
the community as a whole, in cooperation with local residents.
Build a usable PS: By creating green spaces, water features and opening a part of the
premises as a community park, aimed at developing the PS to be used by the local community.
Build a PS with an open atmosphere: Through making the inside of the PS open to the
general public on a regular basis, therefore constructing a PS with an open atmosphere.
In terms of coexistence with the local community, the promotion of positive employment
from the local community for logistic works positions such as drivers, cleaners, and cooks, etc.,
is highly recommended.

Project Cost
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
According to the above composition, the total Project cost is estimated based on the
Project implementation schedule mentioned in Chapter 8.1.
Table 9.1-1 is the summary sheet of the total Project cost estimate.
As mentioned in other chapters of this report, the following items are considered as “not
required for the Project,” and are not included in the estimate:
Landfilling at site against storm surges
Marine construction of intake and discharge structures for cooling system
Additional works for transformation and transmission system
The following rates are adopted in this estimate based on the survey results and recent
project data in Mozambique:
Price escalation Foreign portion: 2.1%
Local portion: 4.6%
Physical contingency: 5.0%
Interest during construction: 0.01%
Commitment charge: 0% (exempted)
VAT: Conditions of VAT on this project will be finalized in the process of
forthcoming consultations between Mozambique government and EDM. In
this estimate, it is assumed that VAT (17%) would be imposed on 25% of
EPC cost and the cost for removal of existing fuel tanks.
Customs duty: It was confirmed by EDM that customs duties will be exempted for
this project.

EPC cost is estimated using the software from the U.S., State of the Art Power Plant (“SOAPP”)
under the sponsorship of the Electric Power Research Institute (“EPRi”) that was made for the
conceptual design, costing and project financial analysis based on the latest database of
international equipment prices and construction prices in the U.S.
As mentioned above, the EPC cost is estimated based on the construction prices in the U.S.
Therefore, the local portion of EPC cost should be adjusted based on the construction price
difference between the U.S. and Mozambique.
According to interviews with construction companies based in Maputo, the construction prices
in Mozambique are much higher than those in South Africa due to the following reasons:
Low Productivity
Productivity of construction work is low in Mozambique due to the lack of local skilled
workers and the poor work ethics of some workers.
In consideration of the above situation, the local portion of EPC cost will be adjusted by
comparing the construction prices of the U.S., South Africa and Mozambique.
Table 9.2-1 shows the building cost rate comparison in African countries, and it corroborates the
fact that the construction costs in Mozambique are much higher than those in South Africa.
Civil work for power plants, which is one part of the local portion of EPC cost, is composed of
more structural work and fewer finishing work, and this table shows that the South African
9-3
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
building cost for factories and car parks that should have similar composition of structural and
finishing work is about 70% of the Mozambican cost.
Table 9.2-2 and Table 9.2-3 show building costs per square meter in South Africa and the U.S.
They show that building costs in South Africa are generally lower than those in the U.S., and the
building costs for factories and car parks in South Africa is about 70% of those in the U.S.

In this survey, it is estimated that the environment surrounding the CCGT market may change
according to the world situation, however the CCGT price has regained its stability.

According to the GTW Handbook, the higher the capacity of the CCGT, the lower the
construction price per kW. However, the construction cost per kW of Project A (USD
1,250/kW) was about the same as other large-scale CCGTs. On the other hand, the estimated
construction cost per kW of this Project is calculated at USD 1,129/kW (≒124.171 million
US$ ÷ 110MW). This value is within the range of the project cost of Project A as well as other
CCGT projects, and it is considered that the cost estimate of this Project is appropriate.
Further, the proportion of equipment free on board (“FOB”) price in the EPC cost is estimated
as below, and this proportion is considered as appropriate according to the previous experiences
of the JICA Study Team.

Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
Since the high-temperature parts are a superalloy using nickel and cobalt as the base, special
technology, such as welding and coating, and special facilities are required to repair these parts.
Therefore, most users request the GT manufacturer or other repair company to repair them.
The table below summarizes the characteristics of LTSAs. For technical characteristics, a user
understands operation time, number of starts/ stops, and number of emergency stops and
manages the necessary range and times for inspections, repairs, and replacements of
high-temperature parts, and under the LTSA the supplier is allowed to do so. In addition, since
the remote monitoring system is planned to be introduced to realize the services, the operation
status of the PS can be monitored in real time at the supplier’s remote monitoring center.
Therefore, a combination of dispatching the stationed engineer and using the remote monitoring
system allows any trouble to be monitored and countermeasures to be taken rapidly, i.e.,
contributing to improvement of the operation ratio. Therefore, under the LTSA the supplier
optionally executes the business concerning monitoring and maintenance of the GT operation
status, therefore the operation ratio can be additionally ensured.
Another large characteristic is the package price for inspections, repairs, and replacements of
the high-temperature parts. Under the LTSA the package price is equal to or less than the total
costs when a user individually executes inspections, repairs, and replacements, and it is
therefore attractive when additional services are considered. In addition, since the cost of the
LTSA is decided at the time of the contract, users can avoid unexpected risks for repairs and
replacements of high-temperature parts.
In addition, if a user individually repairs or replaces high-temperature parts, over the years there
is great fluctuation of the costs regarding whether or not a large amount of high-temperature
parts should be replaced (e.g., approximately USD 1 million for one LM6000GT), i.e.,
management of a small-scaled company such as IPP would be greatly affected. In contrast, an
LTSA allows the cost payments to be leveled because of paying a set price each month,
therefore management can be stabilized.
9-12
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
As described above, since an LTSA would greatly contribute to the stabilization of the PS
operation and company management, it is a welcomed process from the viewpoint of fund
supply. Therefore, this investigation recommends that an LTSA to be a target of this project.

Chapter 10
In the case of “Without the Project,” it is assumed that EDM needs an alternative power supply
as follows:
From SASOL/EDM and Gigawatt for base and middle load
From Aggreko for peak and middle load
All these capacities are based on gas engines because no water is available at Ressano Garcia.
Aggreko uses mobile-type gas engines that are known to be expensive. Thus, they will be
merely a temporary solution. Any further shortage of power supply will need to be met by
purchase from ESKOM of the South African Power Pool (SAPP), which is already a current
practice. Conversely, the Project, which is based on CCGT, is expected to supply power at a
much lower cost than the other alternatives.
The Project also has a few advantages derived from its location. Firstly, it is located at an old
power plant site; therefore, no major additional cost will be basically required for the
10-1
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
transmission system. Secondly, because it is located just outside of Maputo, the demand center
of the Southern System, the transmission loss of the Project is projected to be much lower than
that of other existing and planned power sources. The Project is desirable in terms of lowering
the overall transmission loss and increasing the system stability. Thirdly, in the case of “With
the Project,” investment in a part of the transmission system around Maputo could be postponed
by at least one year.

10.2.1 Profitability
The pre-tax profit margins were negative in 2006. After that, they showed a slightly positive
percentage during the period from 2007 to 2010. The ratios of return on assets and return on
capital during the period from 2006 to 2010 were negative or close to zero in value. Hence, it
can be said that the profitability of EMD is not high. The profitability is expected to improve by
a review and increase in electricity sales price or a reduction in operation cost in the future.

(4) Financing
It is assumed that 10 percent of the total initial investment cost including IDC will be financed
with equity from EDM and the remaining 90 percent, with a yen-denominated soft loan2 from
JICA with the conditions given below:
(a) Yen-denominated soft loan
Interest rate: 0.01 percent per annum
Repayment period: 40 years including 10-year grace period
(The grace period starts in the year of the first disbursement of the loan.)
(b) Loan to EDM from a local commercial bank
Interest rate: 12 percent per annum
Repayment period: 9 years
The average sales price of electricity increased from 2.44 MTn/kWh in 2009 to 2.76
MTn/kWh in 2011. However, because of high inflation rates during the same period, the real
sales price of electricity in fact decreased. As the inflationary pressure decreases, the price of
electricity, which incidentally has become increasingly lower than that in South Africa for the
last few years, could be raised more than currently planned. Table 10.3-6 exhibits recent and
planned average sales prices in MTn and USD. In our study, we assume that 3.30 MTn/kWh
or 11.8 US cents/kWh for the projected price for 2014 is assumed for the entire duration of the
Project.

The exchange rate between yen and USD assumed is 91.04 JPY/USD.

Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
It is assumed that the above-mentioned sales price is composed of the costs for electricity
generation, transmission and distribution, consumers’ related costs and margins. Therefore, the
income of the Project is basically a value multiplying the volume of electricity supplying to
grids by the following unit value.
The unit of income from generation = (average sales price) – (long-run marginal cost of the
costs for electricity generation, transmission and distribution and consumers’ related costs) –
(margin).
A total of the long-run marginal cost including the costs for electricity generation, transmission
and distribution, consumers’ related costs and margin is assumed at 20 percent of the average
sales price in this study. Hence, it is assumed that the income price from electricity generation
is 2.64 MTn/kWh or 9.44 USc/kWh.
(a) Cost of fuels (gas): 5.60 USD/GJ at the Project site (This price has been agreed on between
EDM and ENH, the integrated gas supplier of the country.
(b) Annual O&M costs of the power plant: (USD thousand) are as follows:
(c) Insurance: one percent of the total capital cost of the power plant per annum.
(d) Interest paid on loan: As discussed earlier in this section.
(7) Others
Other key assumptions used in our analysis are as follows:
(a) Depreciation: 20-year straight line
(b) Corporate income tax: 32 percent
Property taxes or working capital requirements are not considered in projecting the cash
outflow stream. Potential revenues other than sales revenue, such as interest earnings, are not
taken into account either, since they will be comparatively small.
Table 10.3-8 and Table 10.3-9 exhibit the financing plan and the before-debt-service cash flow
projection of the Project.

The DSCR is an important indicator of financial viability of a project not only for the project
owner, but also for a lending institution, as it indicates the project’s ability to pay its debt. The
ratio is normally required to be 1.3 to 1.5 at minimum. If the DSCR of the project is over 2.2, it
will meet this criterion and improve EDM’s overall DSCR. Hence, the Project is considered to
be a sound investment.

Other major risks are associated with the EPC cost and the gas price. The Project will be the
first combined cycle power project in the country and thus there are no comparable cost data
available. The gas price has been agreed between EDM and ENH; however, there still remains a
chance the agreement will be modified. We therefore performed a sensitivity analysis for the
following six scenarios:
(1) 10 percent lower exchange rate than assumed, i.e., 30.69 MTn/USD and thus 0.086
USD/kWh of the income price from electricity generation
(2) 15 percent lower exchange rate than assumed, i.e., 32.01 MTn/USD and thus 0.082
USD/kWh of the income price from electricity generation
(3) 10 percent higher EPC cost
(4) 20 percent higher EPC cost
(5) 10 percent higher gas price
(6) 20 percent higher gas price
The above sensitivity analysis indicates that the Project FIRR in case of a 10% higher EPC cost,
a 20% higher EPC cost and 10% higher gas price shows over 5.2%, which is close to the cutoff
rate. When the exchange rate is 10% and 15% lower than the assumed rate, the Project FIRRs
show 2.9% and 0.8% respectively. Therefore, there are some cases in which the Project FIRRs
10-16
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
are close to the cutoff rate, whereas the financial feasibility of the Project is deemed to be lower
in case of alteration of the exchange rate or gas price.

Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
alternative project against the project to quantify the saving of cost as the benefit of the project.
It is generally acknowledged that in cases where domestic total quantity of electricity supply
increases, the former method above is utilized for calculating economic benefit. Meanwhile, in
cases where domestic total quantity of electricity supply is stabilized or does not increase, the
latter method is utilized. In Mozambique, power supply is unable to keep up with the power
demand so it is necessary to create a new additional power source. The Project makes it possible
to supply additional power to the domestic market and increase the total domestic quantity of
electricity supply. Therefore, the income generated by the assumed average electricity sales
price of the project mentioned earlier (consumers’ and producers’ electricity purchase price),
which is regarded as a net economic benefit, is used for the economic analysis. The total of this
income is regarded as the willingness-to-pay (WTP) minimum and will not exceed consumers’
and producers’ willingness-to-pay level for electricity, which can be represented by the cost of
supply by a captive power, which is likely to be an oil-based diesel generator or any alternative
source of energy, such as kerosene.
In the figure below, Pa indicates assumed average electricity sales price, the WTP minimum. Pb
shows the consumers’ and producers’ average WTP. The area depicted by the points A, Pa, and
C below the demand curve represents the range that consumers are willing to pay in excess of
the prevailing tariff and is called “consumer surplus.” Regarding the calculation of the economic
analysis, since it is a principle to carry out conservative evaluation, rather than a
willingness-to-pay including consumer surplus, the income generated by the assumed average
electricity sales price of the Project is utilized for the economic analysis in order to overestimate
economic benefit of the Project. In the graph below, the quadrangle area depicted by the points
Pa, C, Qa, and 0 shows the total amount of electricity tariffs that consumers and producers pay.

Using the figure (average sales price of electricity) obtained as the unit price of the economic
benefit and multiplying the total volume of generation can quantify the value of the generated
electricity.
For reference, the benefit stemming from the saving cost comparing the Project to the least-cost
alternative project and other benefits that are not able to be monetized, as described in 10.1
Effectiveness of the Project, are as follows, although they are not calculated for economic
benefit.
“Without the Project,” EDM will need to find an alternative power source. The difference in the
power production (or procurement) cost between the Project and the alternative power source is
regarded as a saving realized by the Project in supplying the same amount of electricity to the
grid and thus is an economic benefit of the Project.
Potential alternative power sources are limited to: (1) purchase from the Power Pool of South
Africa, (2) purchase from Aggreko, who has an additional 85 MW of capacity that can be
mobilized instead of being relocated somewhere else, and (3) a new IPP project (or expansion of
a planned IPP project) using the gas that has been allocated to the Project, which is likely to be a
gas-engine project located in Ressano Garcia.
The first two options are grossly expensive compared with the Project, costing over 20 US
cents/kWh. The third one is considered to be the least-cost alternative option, and there is a
10-19
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
method of measuring the economic benefit or savings incurred by the difference between the
Project and the alternative option in terms of estimating the generation cost for the option based
on the information for the Sasol project, which includes 18 gas-engine generator sets each with
an open cycle capacity of approximately 9.73 MW.
“Without the Project,” because of insufficient electricity supply, EDM operation will be further
restricted and the number of new connections will be limited. New connections are associated
with investments. If we can identify the exact relationship between those two, we may be able to
estimate the amount of investment realized by an additional 110 MW of power the Project can
provide. However, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to undertake such an exercise.
Because the Project is located closer to the demand center of Maputo than the least-cost
alternative options discussed above, there is a benefit resulting from the lower transmission loss.
We assume the difference in the transmission loss within the Southern System as follows:
The difference of transmission loss between the Project and a comparable project located at
Ressano Garcia: 1.1 MW
The difference of transmission loss between the Project and power supplied though the
STE project: Not considered as the capacity difference between the two (i.e., over 2,000
MW for the latter) is too large for this exercise.

conversion factor is estimated at 0.97, as shown below:
10.4.2 EIRR
Table 10.4-2 exhibits the calculation of the EIRR of the Project based on the economic benefits
and costs discussed earlier. The EIRR is calculated at 17.1 percent, which clearly supports
economic viability of the Project. Because of some economic benefits that are not included in
the financial benefits, the EIRR is higher than the FIRR on the total investments.

Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
A sensitivity test was performed on the EIRR for the initial investment cost only, which is the
largest foreign cost component. The results of the test are as follows:
Generally, higher EIRRs are expected for energy projects, whereas a substantial cost overrun of
the initial investment cost could undermine the Project’s viability. As a result of this sensitivity
analysis, the EIRRs are over 10 percent in cases of a 10 percent and 20 percent higher initial
investment. Thus, it can be said that the Project is economically feasible.
We can conclude that the Project is viable in economic terms, bringing sufficient benefit to the
country to justify its implementation.

Chapter 11
There are existing facilities in the site, including three sets of GTs that are rarely used, oil tanks,
and three substations, as well as remnants of the former coal-fired power station, such as a
partially demolished power house, the CW pipe bridge, which is seriously damaged, and an open
space that used to be the coal stockyard.
Please refer to Chapters 3 and 5 of this Report for detailed information on the proposed Project
site.
The combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) with a multi-shaft 2 on 1 configuration is proposed for
adoption in this Project. A CCGT is a power generation system that utilizes a combination of
GT(s) and a ST to achieve greater efficiency than would be possible independently. The gas
turbine drives an electrical generator. The GT exhaust is then used to produce steam in a heat
recovery steam generator (HRSG). Then the generated steam is fed to a ST whose output
provides the means to generate more electricity. This technology is known for its effectiveness in
terms of natural gas resource use, higher efficiency, shorter construction period, lower initial
investment cost, compact configuration and most importantly, few environmental impacts.
Please refer to Chapters 4 and 6 of this Report for a comprehensive overview of the technical
specifications and basic design of the proposed power plant.
An air-cooled condenser (ACC) is proposed as the most preferred steam condenser for this
Project. The ACC technology does not need water to condense the process fluid. In this system,
exhaust steam from the turbine flows through the tube bundles and is condensed in parallel flow
tube bundles using air flow induced by properly designed axial fans. This system has the
following observable benefits:

Refer to Chapters 4 and 6 of this Report for the comprehensive information on the technical
specifications of the proposed air-cooled condenser.
(1) Meteorology
The meteorological data was collected from the nearest meteorological station to the Project site
(Weather Station #64 – Maputo International Airport). Presented below are significant climate
data generated from 2009–2011.
(a) Temperature
As shown in Figure 11.2-1, the highest value in the monthly average of highest temperature is
approximately 30℃ from December to March, and the lowest value in the monthly average of
highest temperature is between 25–26℃ from June to August. The monthly average of lowest
temperature is parallel to the average of highest temperature, but is 7℃to 10℃ cooler. The
highest value in the monthly average of lowest temperature is approximately 22℃in January and
February.

(d) Rainfall
The rainfall data is shown in Figure 11.2-6. The annual rainfall data suggests that Maputo
received annual rainfalls ranging from 284 mm to 865 between 2007 and 2011. The rainfall
pattern shows a relatively higher rainfall in the months from November to April, which also
justifies the temperature pattern observed at the point nearest the Project site.
Precipitation in mm
The proposed Project site is located near the Maputo Port Terminal. In the greater Maputo area,
there are a number of other industries that are considered to be of significant pollution sources,
namely: cement processing, light fuel refining, coal storage and ship loading, informal industries
and waste material burning. In close proximity to the proposed site, pollution sources are
generated from vehicular traffic at the EN2 highway, the MPDC train lines of the Maputo Cargo
Terminal, the coal burning in the adjacent community, the ships traveling within Maputo Bay and
the ships loading at the Maputo Cargo Terminal.
In order to determine the baseline ambient air quality, the JICA Study Team conducted air quality
monitoring from 23 Nov to Dec 01, 2012. The monitoring point was established close to the
center of the Project site between the fuel tanks of the existing GTs (see Figure 11.2-7). The GPS
coordinates of the point are 452914.00 m E, 7130896 m S. The sampling of SO2, NO2 and PM10
were carried out in accordance with NIOSH methods as detailed in Table 11.2-1 below.
11-5
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
The ambient samples were collected using precision sample pumps that were calibrated on site
with a portable flow calibrator. The sampling duration was approximately 24 hours for each of
the seven samples for which results are shown in Table 11.2-2.

Table 11.2-2 Daily Ambient Concentrations for PM10, SO2 and NO2
Parameters
Sample
PM10 (µg/m3) SO2 (µg/m3) NO2 (µg/m3)
As shown in Table 11.2-2 above, the current SO2 concentrations were below the Mozambican
24-hour guideline of 365µg/m3 and the RSA guideline of 125µg/m3. The measured ambient NO 2
concentrations were also within the Mozambican 24-hour guideline of 200µg/m3. There are no
guidelines in Mozambique, however, for PM10 so the international standards and guidelines were
observed and adopted. The measured ambient PM 10 concentrations were within the current RSA
24-hour guideline of 125µg/m3; however, they were above the WHO guideline of 50µg/m3 on 5
out of the 7 sampling days. Refer to the next section (Section 11.3.1) of this Report for detailed
presentation of the ambient air quality standards and guidelines applicable to this Project.
Sound is created when an object vibrates or radiates and part of that energy travels as acoustic
pressure or waves through air, water or solids. Sound and noise are measured in units of decibels
(dB), which are logarithmic in scale. Small changes in ambient sound levels less than 3 dB(A)
will not be detected by a human ear but 10 dB(A) sound levels would be perceived as a doubling
of sound loudness. To compare the effects of different fluctuating sounds, the average sound level
over a time period will be compared to the constant level of steady, non-varying sound that
produces the same energy during the same period. The fluctuating average noise levels over a
time period is termed as Leq and is represented by the constant noise level producing the same
sound energy over the same time period as the fluctuating noise level. Figure 11.2-8 shows
typical noise levels in various environments.
11-7
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
In order to determine the ambient noise level in the study area, a baseline noise monitoring survey
was conducted. The monitoring was conducted based on noise measurements obtained and done
by the use of a Type 1 precision impulse integrating sound level meter, as prescribed by the
international standards for sound level meter specifications, i.e., IEC 61672:1999, IEC
61260:1995 and IEC 60651, as well as ISO 19961:2003 and ISO 3095:2001 for the measurement
and assessment of environmental noise.
A total of 10 monitoring points were pre-selected and one additional point (MP11) was chosen to
carry out a 24-hr continuous measurement as shown in Figure 11.2-9. Its Global Positioning
System (GPS) coordinates are shown in Table 11.2-3. The monitoring points consist of:
One location close to the fuel tanks, about 30 m northwest of the existing No.2 GT.

The noise measurements were performed intermittently during the day and night for a period of 5
days covering four time periods (Morning: 06:00-08:00; Daytime: 08:00-18:00, Evening:
18:00-23:00 and Night-time: 23:00-06:00), within a 24-hour period representing weekdays and
weekends. Table 11.2-4, Table 11.2-5 and Figure 11.2-10 illustrate the results of the noise levels
at each monitoring point.
11-10
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
Figure 11.2-10 Average noise level at MP11 over 9 days period (Nov 23–Dec 01/2012)
Based on the results of the noise monitoring, the main noise sources within and around the
Project area were the vehicular traffic from the EN2 highway, the trains to and from the Maputo
Terminal and the existing GTs in CTM Maputo. The ambient noise levels at the monitored points
within the power station site were found to be below the World Bank/IFC Ambient Noise
Guidelines of 70 dB(A) for industrial zones, except for MP02 and MP11, which were in close
proximity to the existing No.2 GT. The noise level from GT operation increased the noise levels
on site, but they are lower than the noise levels at the Bairro Luis Cabral community. The noise
levels at Bairro Luis Cabral community during the weekend at night were found to be higher than
those during weekdays. This may be attributed to the increased night-time activity, such as loud
music, coupled with noise from the traffic and the GT. Table 11.2-6 shows the summary of the
noise monitoring results of each monitoring point.
11-11
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
MP01 This point is situated at the entrance of the Power Station site. It is approximately
100 m from the EN2 highway. The noise environment was mainly affected by the
traffic noise from the EN2 and the noise from the GTs when in operation. The
distance of this point to the existing No. 2 GT is approximately 180 m.
The measured ambient noise levels at this point were below the World Bank/IFC
Ambient Noise Guidelines of 70 dB(A) for industrial zones.
MP02 MP02 is at the center of the site, approximately 120 m from the EN2 highway and
60 m from the existing No. 2 GT. The noise environment at this point was dominated
by the GT operation and by the highway traffic. When the No. 2 GT was in
operation, the noise level reached 72.1 dB(A). The noise levels for the remaining
time periods were all below the World Bank/IFC Ambient Noise Guidelines of 70
dB(A) for industrial zones.
MP03 This point is located near the northern corner of the site, approximately 50 m from
the EN2 highway. The noise environment at this point was dominated by the road
traffic and the GT operation. In addition, the noise levels were intermittently elevated
due to passing trains. The measured ambient noise levels at this point for all time
periods were below the World Bank/IFC Ambient Noise Guidelines of 70 dB(A) for
industrial zones.
MP04 This point is located at the center of the northeastern fence line of the site,
approximately 100 m from the EN2 highway and 120 m from the existing No. 2 GT.
The predominant noise sources at this point were the vehicular traffic from the
highway and the GT when it was in operation. Similar to MP03, the noise levels at
MP04 were intermittently elevated due to the passing trains. The measured ambient
noise levels were below the World Bank/IFC Ambient Noise Guidelines of 70 dB(A)
for industrial zones, except for a weekday morning measurement reaching 74.4
dB(A), due to a passing train from the Maputo Terminal.
MP05 This point is located near the southeastern corner of the site. It is approximately
150 m from the EN2 highway. The noise environment at this point was primarily
affected by the EN2 road traffic and the railway activity. The two elevated noise
levels measured, i.e., 67.4 dB(A) and 67.6 dB(A), were all due to passing trains.
In the evenings, the noise levels at this point were increased due to insect and frog
activity. The evening noise levels, without the influence of the passing trains,
reached 61.2 dB(A).
The measured noise levels at this point for the remaining time periods were around
50 dB(A). As can be seen from the weekend night-time measurement, GT operation
did not cause any significant increase of the noise level at MP05. This was due to the
fact that nearby buildings provided shielding from the noise generated by the turbine
operation.
MP06 This point is at the northern border of the Bairro Luis Cabral community, about 20 m
from the EN2 highway. The noise environment at this point was primarily affected
by the vehicular traffic on the EN2.
The measured noise levels at this location were above the World Bank/IFC Ambient
Noise Guidelines for residential and the SANS guidelines for urban districts with
main roads. The average measured noise level reached 62.2 dB(A).
11-12
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
MP07 The location of this point is within the Bairro Luis Cabral community, approximately
120 m from the site’s fence line and 25 m from the EN2 highway. The main
contributor to the noise environment at this location was the vehicular traffic on the
EN2.
The measured noise levels at MP07 were above the World Bank/IFC Ambient Noise
Guidelines for residential zones and the SANS guidelines for urban districts with
main roads.
MP08 This point lies within the Bairro Luis Cabral community, approximately 70 m from
the site’s fence line and the EN2 highway. The noise environment is affected by the
vehicular traffic on the EN2 and localised domestic activities, including music,
peoples’ conversations, children playing and other human activities.
The measured noise levels at this point were above the World Bank/IFC Ambient
Noise Guidelines for residential and the SANS guidelines for urban districts with
main roads.
MP09 This point is situated within the Bairro Luis Cabral community, which is
approximately 100 m from the EN2 highway. Similar to MP08, the main noise
sources here were the traffic from the EN2 and domestic activities. The noise from
GT operation was audible at this point, but not intrusive.
The measured noise levels at this point were slightly above the World Bank/IFC
Ambient Noise Guidelines for residential, but within the SANS guidelines for urban
districts with main roads.
MP10 This point is close to the northern border of the Bairro Luis Cabral community,
approximately 35 m from the EN2 highway. The noise environment at this point was
primarily affected by the vehicular traffic on the above-mentioned road.
The measured noise levels at this point exceeded the World Bank/IFC Ambient
Noise Guidelines for residential areas and were slightly above the SANS guidelines
for urban districts with main roads.
MP11 The MP11 is situated 70 m southwest of point MP02 at the center of the site and
close to the existing fuel tanks and the existing No. 2 GT. The noise environment at
this point was primarily dominated by the GT operation and by the vehicular traffic
on the EN2. When the existing No. 2 GT was in operation, the noise levels reached
74 dB(A), thus exceeding the World Bank/IFC Ambient Noise Guidelines of 70
dB(A) for industrial zones. The noise levels for the remaining time periods were all
below the World Bank/IFC Ambient Noise Guidelines for industrial areas.
(4) Topography
The elevation in the study area is considered to be low (<4 m above MSL of Port Maputo) due to
its coastal location. The topography of the site is regular with elevations descending steadily
towards the coast and consequently the slopes are mild. Refer to Chapter 5 for a detailed
description of the topographic condition of the proposed site.
11-13
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
(6) Hydrology
The proposed site is associated with the Infulune River, which is approximately 300 m west of
the proposed Project site. Fronting the Project site is an intertidal zone and a mangrove forest that
slightly extends to the southern end of the site.
To the north of the site, a storm water channel was observed running parallel to the railway. At
two points along this storm water channel, culverts passed beneath the railway enabling the
routing of storm water to Maputo Bay and beneath the site. A ‘saturated surface depression’ was
also noted at the north of the CTM site. This depression runs parallel to the CTM boundary (and
railway). The source of the water saturating this area is unknown and may be due to a number of
reasons such as surface water run-on and an associated impermeable depression, groundwater
extrusion or a burst pipe. Refer to Chapter 5 for a detailed description on hydrological conditions
of the site.
Figure 11.2-11 shows the location map. The results of the laboratory sample tests are illustrated
in Table 11.2-7.

As shown in the above table, it is evident that water from Sample 1 is of good quality and the
only parameter highlighted that is of concern is aluminum; however, the concentration can be
skewed by mobilization of aluminum under lower ph values (acidified bottles). Samples 2 and 3
indicate a saline environment with elevated concentrations of chlorine, sulphate, aluminum, boron,
calcium, magnesium and sodium. The total dissolved solids and electrical conductive are also
high. E-coli were present, presumably from the immediate upstream informal settlement. The
11-16
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
result of Sample 4 showed a high level of E-coli (47/100 ml) with elevated concentrations of
chloride, sulphate, aluminum, boron, calcium, magnesium, iron, magnesium, manganese, sodium
and phosphorous. All samples were tested for hydrocarbons via TPH BTEX testing and none of
these samples indicated the presence of hydrocarbons.
(b) Housing
Housing varies considerably in Luis Cabral suburb and consists of predominantly reed houses or
huts built with either light or concrete materials. The reed houses in quarteróes 40a and 40b are
generally covered with a zinc roof and the structures are generally either wood or tin sheets and
most have no windows. Inside, they are divided into compartments with a compacted mud floor.
The yards are generally reed fenced.
11-17
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
(c) Education
There are three complete primary schools in Luis Cabral but no secondary schools. In 2012, there
were 5,334 students enrolled in these schools. There is also a newly established Dom Bosco
Higher Institute, constructed in 2007 to train teachers through distance learning. In 2008, the
institute introduced new courses in tourism and administration. At present, there are 266 students
enrolled. The location of Dom Bosco Higher Institute is at the former Maquinag plot, the land
area opposite to the proposed Project site.
Sanitation is one of the major concerns in Luis Cabral suburb because of the absence of good
sewage and solid waste disposal systems. Most quarteróes next to the proposed Project site do
not have proper latrines. However, there are on-going initiatives that are taking place in order to
improve the sanitation and public health funded by Family Health International.
(a) Agriculture
Considering that the land use of the proposed Project site and its surrounding environment is
industrial, agriculture activities are very limited except for vacant and unused land where some
communities get permission to cultivate. The vacant and unused land close to the Project site is
used by nearby quoarteróes to plant cash crops and maize for domestic consumption.
11-18
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
(b) Fisheries
The first inhabitants in Luis Cabral suburb were from Inhambane province and practiced fishing
in Maputo Bay. However, in recent years, only a few people rely on fishing and only a small
number of quarteróes own wooden boats. Fishing in Luis Cabral is limited to domestic
consumption.
(c) Industries
Most people near the Project site are laborers and workers of industrial companies like Ford
(opposite the proposed Project site), small companies for air conditioning and freezer repairs,
Volvo and Hyundai, FRESPO (trucking company), and the port terminal, which is not far from
the Project site.
Mozambique has relatively well-developed legal frameworks for environmental management and
protection. These are manifested by the adequate number of well-enforced legal instruments.
Some of these laws and regulations are listed in Table 11.3-1.
The umbrella law, known as the Environmental Law (Law No. 20/97) mandates all
environmental matters in Mozambique and is considered to be an important instrument in the
enactment and passage of various and specialized environmental decrees and regulations in the
country.
Significant highlights of this Law include, among others, the following basic principles for
environmental management in Mozambique:
Rational utilization and management of the environment with a view to the promotion of
improved quality of life of citizens and maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystems
Recognition of traditions and local knowledge which may contribute to the conservation and
preservation of natural resources and the environment
Public participation
The domain of the Environmental Law comprises all activities private or public, which directly or
indirectly influence the environment and those that fall under the constitutional provision for “an
ecological balanced environment” for all citizens.

Mozambique’s Decree No. 18/2004 on Environmental Quality Standards and Effluent Emissions
has yet to establish the standards for the following parameters: PM10, dust, and noise; thus, the
following standards are adopted from the South African National Air Quality values. Table
11.3-5 and Table 11.3-6 illustrate the standards for the parameters mentioned.
The global environmental standards set by WHO are also being used as a reference in
Mozambique as far as environmental health is concerned, including some of the significant
parameters illustrated in Table 11.3 7.
11-22
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
In the absence of standards and guidelines, Mozambique uses the guidelines for noise levels set
by the South African Noise Control Standards and the International Finance Corporation – World
Bank Group Environmental Health and Safety Guidelines. Table 11.3-8 illustrates the following
ambient noise levels set the IFC-World Bank Group.
With regards to effluent standards, the IFC-EHS Guidelines for Thermal Power Plants (2008)
have specified performance indicators and environmental monitoring requirements. This
guideline stipulates: “Effluent guidelines are applicable for direct discharges of treated effluents
to surface waters for general use. Site-specific discharge levels may be established based on the
availability and conditions in the use of publicly operated sewage collection and treatment
systems or, if discharged directly to surface waters, on the receiving water use classification as
described in the General EHS Guideline (2007). Guideline values for process emissions and
effluents in this sector are indicative of good international industry practice as reflected in
standards of countries with recognized regulatory frameworks. These levels should be achieved,
without dilution, at least 95 percent of the time that the plant or unit is operating, to be calculated
as a proportion of annual operating hours. Deviation from these levels due to specific local
project conditions should be justified in the environmental assessment.”

Decree No. 45/2004, known as the Regulation on EIA Process, provides the EIA procedural
framework in the conduct, evaluation and overall management of EIA process in Mozambique. It
outlines the steps to be undertaken for all development activities, whether public or private.
The EIA Regulation also mandates that only EIA professionals (técnicos médios e superiores)
who are registered environmental consultants can undertake an EIA process in Mozambique.
Consultants are required to register either as individuals, companies or as a consortium of
companies (e.g., for a specific project) and are required to have at least five years of relevant
experience at the time of registration. Only an ‘advanced’ professional can act as a project
manager and sign on EIA reports. For non-Mozambican companies who wish to conduct an EIA
process in the country, the process must be subcontracted to a company registered in
Mozambique. In addition, the company must submit documentation consisting of a list of similar
projects undertaken, CVs and the qualifications of each member proposed for the EIA team.
Corresponding fees are collected in accordance to the following:

Category A are those projects that may have a significant impact on the environment and
whose activities are listed in Appendix 1 of the EIA Regulations including, among others,
power generation, transmission lines with a voltage of 110 kV with a length of more than 10
km, and gas pipelines longer than 5 km. Project types like these require an EIA level study
and the formulation of an Environmental Management Plan.
Category B are those projects or activities listed in Appendix 2 of the EIA Regulations,
which do not significantly affect communities, environmentally sensitive areas and for which,
the intensity and extent of impact are lower than that of those in Category A. Category B
projects only require a Simplified Environmental report (SER).
Category C are those projects or activities listed in Appendix 3 of the EIA Regulations,
which show insignificant or negligible impacts on the environment. A declaration for
exemption for any EIA or SER requirement will be issued by the EIA authority or
responsible DPCA.

The JICA Guidelines of April 2010 on environmental and social considerations is the
fundamental instrument used in carrying out the environmental assessment for this Project in
Mozambique. However, environmental laws and regulations in Mozambique are also being
considered. In addition, the policies and guidelines published by the Asian Development Bank
(ADB) are being referred to in order to ensure that significant environmental and social elements
of the Project are balanced and looked into fairly. Based on the study conducted, no significant
differences or gaps have been identified among the three legal documents mentioned. Table

The Ministério para a Coordenação da Acção Ambiental (MICOA) was established in 1995
with the mandate to implement the National Environmental Management Plan, enforce
environmental policies and legislation as well as to coordinate with relevant ministries on
environmental concerns and ensure that the environmental considerations are integrated into
sector plans, programs, policies and development projects. Figure 11.3-2 shows MICOA’s
organizational structure.
MICOA is composed of five departments, namely: environmental impact assessment,
management of natural resources, land planning, promotion of environmental awareness and
planning, for which each department has its own respective mandates.
In December 1999, the EIA Department was upgraded to National Directorate of Environmental
Impact Assessment in order to effectively and efficiently implement the mandate contained in
Law No. 20/97 known as the Environmental Law. The new enhanced National EIA Directorate
comprises of a team of professional staff, including a National Director, deployed flexibly to
perform the tasks and supported by EIA Department and Environmental Auditing Department.
Furthermore, in line with the government’s decentralization policy and in order to discharge its
mandate more effectively, MICOA established the Provincial Directorates to coordinate
environmental affairs (DPCAs) at the provincial level in ten provinces all over the country. In
principle, the role of the provincial directorates is to facilitate the implementation of the
centrally developed environmental legislation, policies and programs, including EIA regulations
and guidelines at the local level. At present, most of the provincial governments have
institutionalized a Department of Environmental Management and some provinces have
established a separate EIA Department.
(b) The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has a broad responsibility in relation
to natural environmental management including agriculture, livestock, forestry and wildlife.
11-31
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
(c) The Ministry of National Directorate of Forestry and Wildlife is in charge of managing the
country’s vast forestry and wildlife resources outside national parks and reserves.
(d) The Ministry of Tourism also known as the Directorate for Conservation Areas is
responsible for the protection of National Parks, unless these parks have been specifically
declared by another agency.
(e) The Ministry of Fisheries is responsible for the implementation of Law No. 3/1990 known
as the Fisheries Law that covers management of freshwater and marine fish resources as well as
overseeing aqua and marine-culture industries.
(f) The Ministry of Trade and Industry is involved in larger development projects.

Without the Project, in order to bridge the gap in power balance up to completion of the STE
Project, EDM needs to acquire power from gas-fired thermal plants being planned mainly in
Ressano Garcia. Natural gas can be tapped off the existing gas pipeline transferring gas from the
Pande & Temane Gas Fields in Mozambique to South Africa.
Since these power plants are generally located in inland hilly areas where cooling water cannot
be easily obtained, gas engines are to be mainly used for power generation. On the other hand,
the proposed new power plant is expected to be a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant,
and can achieve a higher thermal efficiency than a gas-engine power plant. Therefore, even if
the plant output is the same, CCGT plants will emit less CO2 than gas-engine power plants.
Assuming the gas-engine power plant with an output of 100 MW is replaced by a CCGT plant
with the same output, the potential CO2 emission reductions can be preliminarily calculated as
follows:

11.5 Scoping and TOR for the Environmental and Social Consideration Study
In order to ensure that all significant environmental and social issues are considered, an
environmental checklist was generated, details of which are attached in the Appendix-7 of this
Report. Table 11.5-1 below provides the summarized items in the environmental checklist.
On the basis of the above, the JICA Study Team conducted an initial evaluation of these
environmental elements to determine key environmental issues to be included and scoped in the
environmental and social considerations study. Table 11.5-2 illustrates significant results.

(Source: JICA Study Team)
The results of the scoping activities are used in drawing out the TOR for the conduct of the
environmental and social consideration study. There were five significant environmental issues
that require clarification and further investigation namely: air quality, water quality,
noise/vibration, waste management, and social and economic conditions of the people living in
the surrounding area of the Project site. Soil and hydrological surveys are undertaken in
conjunction with the civil works. More detailed investigation of significant environmental issues,
including soil contamination and the significance of site contamination assessment are
considered for intensive investigation during the official EIA study to be undertaken by EDM.
It is important to stress that while the principle in conducting the ESC study is following the
JICA Guidelines for Category B, in the absence of secondary data, and in consonance with the
environmental regulations of Mozambique, significant baseline level information are gathered
in a simplified manner in order to provide baseline information necessary to predict and
evaluate the impact of the proposed Project. Local consultants are commissioned to assist the
11-41

JICA Study Team in carrying out these tasks efficiently and effectively. It is noted, that the
outputs of these studies will serve as a working document for EDM once the official EIA
process commences. Table 11.5-3 outlines the terms of reference in the conduct of the
environmental and social consideration study.

Land acquisition is not necessary for this Project because the proposed site is within the vicinity
of the existing power plant owned and operated by EDM.

Environmental quality standards and pollution control
1 Air quality B- C- B- B- Air pollution can occur caused by gas emissions
generated from the use of machinery, equipment
and heavy trucks. However, the value of the
particulate matter is lower than the prescribed air
quality standards of Mozambique and the standards
used by IFC and SANS.
Dust is generated from various sources including
the different kinds of heavy earth works, although
this can be temporary, as leveling works will only
be done for a certain period.
During the pre-construction and construction
period, there will be an increase in vehicle traffic as
a result of transporting construction materials and
construction/domestic wastes.
Emission gas generated from the Project is
predicted to meet the air quality standards set by
Mozambique (Decree No. 18/2004), SANS
Ambient Air Quality Standard and IFC. When the
existing GTs and the new power plant operate at
the same time, there might be an increased
concentration of NOx that may exceed air quality
standards; however, this is also negligible as there
is a plan to rehabilitate and upgrade the existing
GTs.

The construction and operational phase of the proposed Project comprises various activities,
each of which may have an impact on environmental parameters as mentioned in the preceding
sections of this Report. Various impacts during the construction and operation phase on the
environment have been studied to predict the impact on the environmental attributes. The
probable impacts of each of these activities are predicted depending upon the inputs from the
source, efficacy of pollution control equipment and capacity of the receiving environment.

Water sprinkling will be regularly carried out in order to prevent the fugitive dust to the

certified vehicles of the contractor shall be deployed at the site. However, as the plant site will
be cordoned off, such particulate impacts will be confined to only within the plant site. The
vehicular exhaust and other related activities would result in a rise of NOX. However, the
incremental values are expected to be negligible.

Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
The overall impact on the water environment during the construction phase due to the proposed
Project would be short term in duration and is considered insignificant.
During the construction phase, various wastes will be generated including industrial solid waste,
domestic waste at the construction site, sewage and other construction debris. The main concern
on waste that may cause serious impact is the use of materials that contain PCB
(polychlorinated biphenyl), PCT (polychlorinated terphenyl), asbestos and other dangerous
substances. Hence, use of these should be avoided when possible. Other construction wastes,
domestic waste and sewages can be mitigated by establishing a good waste management plan
and vigorously implementing it.

Adequate personal protective equipment like ear plugs and ear muffs shall be provided to
the plant workers to reduce the effect of noise
Overall, the impact of generated noise on the environment during the construction period is
likely to be insignificant, reversible, localized in nature and mainly confined to the day hours.
The noise level will only drop down to an acceptable level once the construction period is over.
Strain on civic amenities (like road, transport, communication, water supply and sanitation,
health care and recreational utilities, etc.) due to an increase in floating population.

Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
Increase in consumer prices of indigenous services and produces like eggs, fish, vegetables,
milk, etc.
It is difficult to assess the above impacts quantitatively on a measurable scale. However, most of
these impacts will be short term and limited to the construction period only. The increase in
employment opportunities (project and service sector) and overall economic improvement of the
area is certain to happen.
Existing roads will be strengthened, if required, for transportation of materials, goods, etc.
Transport of construction materials and machineries shall be carried out during lean traffic
period of the day or during the night.
The impact during the operation phase will be continuous in nature. For a gas-based plant of this
capacity (100 MW), the potential for imparting adverse impacts is not high. However, any
impact on the environment is expected to be minimized by incorporating efficient technologies
for pollution control measures.
Natural gas will be used as the fuel for operation. The exhaust gas due to combustion of gas
from GTs during the operation may lead to air pollution by NOx. The current air quality is
below the limit of the ambient air quality standards of Mozambique. Appropriate measures must
be taken to ensure that the standards will be met in the future as well.

Downdraft was calculated by selecting all the cases shown in Table 11.8-9 in accordance with
general diffusion conditions. The impact of downwash was insignificant given that the speed of
the exhaust gas is set high (18.8 m/s) and the wind speed is 1.5 times higher than the set wind
speed (28 m/s).
The maximum concentration of nitrogen dioxide is 16.3 μg/m3, which is the highest at the wind
speed of 1.0 m/s with atmospheric stability A at the ground level. This concentration is
approximately 4% of Mozambique's environmental quality standards and approximately 8% of
the IFC/WB guidelines.
As to the maximum future concentration (obtained by adding the present concentration to the
predictive value), the concentration value is 22.04 μg/m3, which is significantly lower than
Mozambique's environmental quality standards and the IFC/WB guidelines.

(h) Conclusion
As a result of the simulation analysis, it was found that the predicted future concentration is
sufficiently lower compared with the Mozambique's environmental quality standard and the
IFC/WB guidelines. Since there is no significant difference between actual measured data at
CTM Maputo and the assumed NO2 concentration for prediction, need of changing the height of
the stack is not expected.
The main sources of noise during the operation phase are generated from GTs, heat recovery
steam generators (HRSG), ST generator, air-cooled condenser (ACC), various pumps,
ventilation fans and other miscellaneous equipment. These levels of noise generated can be
readily controlled through the application of appropriate acoustic equipment. According to the
Feasibility Study on the technical requirements of this Project (see Section 6.4.4), the ambient
noise level for all equipment operating under steady state conditions shall not exceed 85 dB (A)
at 1 m from the edge of the equipment or close to the source. Its equivalent noise level at a
height of 1 m on the boundary of the plant shall not exceed 70 dB (A). With 70 dB (A), the
prescribed and applicable standards for industrial and commercial areas (day-time and
night-time) given in Section 11.3.1 are met. The results of the noise monitoring survey also
revealed that the current cumulative noise level in the vicinity of the site is relatively high while
the noise contribution from the existing No.2 GT is relatively low. (see Section 11.2.1). Given
this, it can be assumed that the proportion of the noise level generated by the proposed CCGT
with appropriate acoustic equipment will result in no significant increase of the overall noise
level in the vicinity of the site.
The proposed power plant will use the air-cooled condenser and therefore, water is not required
for the power plant operation. Hence, there will be no impact on surface water and ground water.
However, the effluent from the wastewater treatment facilities may need to be periodically
monitored, as the clean wastewater streams will be discharged through the main drainage
pipeline of Maputo Bay.
During the operation phase, the power plant will generate hazardous and non-hazardous wastes
including among others, oil and grease, dehydrated sludge, deposits from screens and filters and
GTs. Landfill sites shall be identified in accordance with the regulatory requirements on
industrial waste disposal. At present, there are two municipal dumping sites indentified for
11-67
Preparatory Study on Gas-Fired Power Plant Development in Southern Mozambique Final Report
general wastes located in Hulene in Maputo and Malhampsene in Matola and only one land fill
site for hazardous wastes, the Mavoco land fill in Boane suburb.
Wastewater is also expected to be generated from the neutralized regeneration waste of the
HRSG blow down, floor drains from GTs and the ST building, contaminated drains from the
transformer areas and sewage, among others. This wastewater shall be treated and confer with
the prescribed effluent standards of IFC and SANS before being discharged to Maputo Bay.
The plant is also predicted to generate other waste and domestic waste. Hence, it is important to
establish a waste management system including the wastewater system as a measure of
mitigating the adverse impact on waste while at the same time, providing a framework for an
appropriate monitoring system.
There will be no impact on the traffic and transport system as envisaged because the fuel and
gas required for power plant operation will be transported through a pipeline via the new route
linking the MGC pipeline to CTM Maputo.
During the operation phase, health and safety of operation and maintenance personnel are
important. A vigorous fire-fighting system as well as a health and safety plan will be employed
in order to respond to the worst-case scenario of the plant. This shall be implemented in
accordance to the prescribed standards and guidelines set by Mozambique, IFC and SANS.
CO2 will be generated from the Project, contributing to the global climate change, but
considering the capacity of the Project, the impact will not be significant.
After the setting up of the proposed power plant, employment will be generated in the secondary
sector, which will include the non-working population of the area.
During the operation phase, indirect job opportunities will be created in the plant and small and
medium-scale enterprises can be promoted outside the Project boundary. Many will find
employment in the service sector and marketing of day-to-day needs.
There will be no negative health impact on the people as the proposed plant will be gas-based,
will have a very small concentration of SO2 and the PM10 level will be in accordance to the
prescribed standards. Overall, it can be said that there will be marginal impact on the
socio-economic condition of the locality and the impact will be mostly positive.

A. PROJECT INFORMATION
a) Background Information
The Gas Fired Power Plant Development in Mozambique (hereinafter called “the
project”) is aiming for supplying electric power to satisfy middle- and long-term
power demand in Southern region of the Republic of Mozambique (hereinafter called
“Mozambique).
The nationwide power demand shows only 610 MW of the maximum generating
capacity and 4,025 GWh/year of the gross power production but the annual average
increase rate in past 5 years shows remarkable growth; i.e. 13.8% and 10.6% each. In
particular, the maximum generating capacity only in Southern Mozambique is 369
MW which is 60% of 610 MW mentioned above and the annual average increase rate
shows steady growth; i.e. 11.3%.
Although Electricidade de Mozambique (EDM) makes an effort to ensure power
supply capacity; e.g. rehabilitation of aged small-scaled hydroelectric and thermal
power plants, purchase of electric power from IPP power supply being built in
Ressano Garcia area, and capital participation into IPP, the urgent issue to satisfy
middle- and long-term power demand is to ensure a new power supply in Maputo city.
Based on such a background, Mozambique government requested Japanese ODA
from Japanese government in December, 2011 to support gas-fired combined cycle
power plant building in Southern Mozambique.
