The Kokopo City Authority (KCA) is set to purchase two generator sets to help improve power supply in Kokopo City. Acting Kokopo District Administrator, Mr. Darius Kunai confirmed that the generators will be leased to PNG Power Limited (PPL) to support the city's power needs. "We have submitted a proposal to the State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) department to get those two generators over," Kunai explained. "We will lease the generators to PPL, and whatever power service is supplied to consumers, will be charged to PNG Power." The generators will be installed at the Ulagunan Thermal Station in the Kokopo Vunamami Urban LLG, with PPL managing their operation. A contract will be drawn up to formalize the partnership, with revenue from the arrangement to be shared between KCA and PPL. Meanwhile, the proposed solar farm at Raiven in the Bitapaka LLG has been delayed due to complications with the initial US-based developer. Kunai noted that KCA had already paid K750,000 to the company a few years ago, but no work had been completed. "The Kokopo Member (Ereman ToBaining) is still looking for ways to get this off the ground," Kunai added, indicating that efforts to move forward with the project are ongoing.
