Australian minerals explorer Orion Minerals Ltd has contracted a unit of the Juwi Group to assess the feasibility of building a 35 MW dedicated solar and wind power plant for the Prieska zinc-copper project in South Africa. Under the newly signed collaboration agreement, Juwi Renewable Energies (Pty) Ltd South Africa will investigate the possibility of building the hybrid plant at a site located within 20 km of the Prieska project in the Northern Cape province, where it will be possible to also establish a dedicated feed via an overhead power transmission line. Juwi’s South African subsidiary has, to date, built five utility-scale solar power plants with a combined capacity of 121 MW and developed the 138 MW Garob wind project, which will soon enter the construction phase. It also has a further 250 MW of solar capacity currently being added in South Africa.

Yes. So obviously we’re unable to comment on the specific customers themselves, but you guys understand who the majors are in the spaces. The one particular customer that we signed the agreement to govern global activity, that’s a pretty big move. Historically the purchasing would happen in the independent regions. While governed by a corporate structure, the negotiations on agreements would happen regionally on through the purchasing locations, which can take a lot of time as you’re working on each individual agreement. So this expedites the way that we can move forward with each region and how quickly we get new orders on the long-term agreements coming through for us. So that’s a big move and it’s something that we had never had before and we’re very excited about that.

Thirdly, on the inventory front, the inventory increase is primarily on account of finished goods and to some extent on raw materials. The finished goods inventory, especially on fertilizer, we had taken a strategic call to produce and hold it for the season. Compared to last year to this year, our finished goods inventory has gone up by 2.4 lakh tons. The raw material inventory is also slightly on a higher side, primarily driven by higher raw material prices and a higher ForEx rate compared to the figures of previous year. So quarter-on-quarter, it is not high but compared to last year, the raw material prices have gone up and rupee was also averaging around 65. Now it’s around 69. So both these impacts is impacting the inventory.
