Technical Due Diligence on Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa
Mozambique
Period: 2006-2007
Client/Finance: Government of Portugal and Government of Mozambique
The Government of Portugal (GoP) and the Government of Mozambique (GoM) have embarked on the restructuring process of Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa (HCB) to effect the transfer of ownership and control of HCB from GoP to GoM. HCB owns and operates the Cahora Bassa dam, located in Songo, Tete province, Mozambique, and is jointly owned by the GoP and GoM.
To achieve this objective, a comprehensive due diligence was required to satisfy both the current shareholders of HCB: GoM and GoP. The two Governments appointed Nippon Koei as their Consultant to conduct the required due diligence on the technical aspects of HCB.
The scope of services included conducting the necessary field work, checks and tests in order to prepare and deliver reports covering the technical matters arising from the due diligence on HCB.
The technical due diligence covered all aspects pertaining to the technical and operational status of the Dam structure, the Power House, the Sub-Station and the HVDC transmission lines.
