Winde questions why Saldanha Bay was excluded from DoE’s LNG IPPPP plans

Western Cape Economic Opportunities Minister Alan Winde on Wednesday said the provincial government was disappointed that Saldanha Bay was not identified as a port for the importation of natural gas. The Department of Energy last month selected Richards Bay, in KwaZulu-Natal, and Coega, in the Eastern Cape, for the importation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) under Phase 1 of the LNG Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (IPPPP).
