Hela is the home of the multi-billion LNG project.
“The agreement signed today will provide gas live generation to allow the expansion of the Tari grid into Mendi providing power for many thousands of people in Hela, and then Southern Highlands Province,” said Peter Botten, Oil Search Managing Director.
The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) follows the successful provision of power supply to Tari town after its signing in September 2015.
“Already made a progress to provide sustainable and reliable power into Tari by working closely with PNG Power,” Botten said.
