Ras al Khaimah Minerals & Metals Investments (RMMI) is to supply coal from Indonesia to power Ras al Khaimah’s first coal-fired power plant.
The RAK investment is part of a $1 billion major mining project taking part in Indonesia, Congo and Armenia and aims to promote long term energy supplies to the emirate. The demand for power in the northern emirates has increased due to the economic growth and this investment in RAK will supply energy to future projects in the northern emirates.
RMMI will supply the Government of Ras al Khaimah with five million tonnes of coal for the power plant and plans to send excess production to India and Japan who are in need of energy supplies.
