Hanlong Group
Hanlong Group is a Chinese conglomerate with holdings in solar energy, communications, chemicals, mineral exploration, and other industries.
Sichuan Hongda (SSE: 600331) is a mining company and subsidiary of Hanlong listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.[1]
In 2011, Hongda announced a $3 billion investment in coal and iron mining Tanzania, making it the biggest investor in East Africa.[2] Under the deal, a sub-project is to build a major coal plant and supply chain to provide an ample supply of electricity in Tanzania, removing the one of the biggest roadblocks to manufacturing foreign investment.[3] To build Tanzanian power infrastructure, Hongda formed a joint venture with the government of Tanzania named Tanzania China International Mineral Resources (TCIMR).[3] The project plan calls for the building of the Mchuchuma and Katewaka coal to electricity facility, which is expected to be the top capacity plant in the country, producing 600MW at full capacity.[3] The facility is expected to start producing 300MW by 2015.[3]
