Edevu Hydropower Project

Having inaugurated the project in April earlier this year, Marape acknowledged the government's collaboration, facilitated by Kumul Consolidated Holdings, in partnership with the project.

The government has committed K120 million towards the establishment of a 132KV transmission line connecting Edevu to Port Moresby.

This contribution supplements the K650 million already invested by Chinese investor PNG Hydro Development Ltd.

The monumental K770 million hydropower Project, situated along the Brown River in Central, is set to commence operations next month.

Marape commended the proactive approach of Edevu landowners, exemplifying effective collaboration with foreign investors as a model for other landholders across the nation.

Acknowledging the commitment of PNG Hydro Development Ltd and its managing director, Allan Guo, as well as the Chinese financier, Prime Minister Marape hailed their unwavering dedication to the project since its inception in 2009.
