Morupule 4X150 MW CFB Thermopower Plant is a national key project which is for purpose of satisfying the domestic electricity demand and of reducing the electricity import of neighboring countries. It is located 5km far from Palapye of Botswana, 2km from MORUPULE coal mine, and 280km from the capital Gaborone.

The power plant requests advanced techniques and the time limit is rather short. The plant installs four 520t/h CFB boilers and four 150MW condensing air cooled turbo-generator units. The power supplies to State Grid of Botswana through a 400kV switch factory. Besides, the amount of this EPC contract amounts 970 million USD.
