ENKA lifted the first heat recovery steam generator module at the Temane Independent Power Plant in Mozambique on 23 September 2026. Its 20 October progress report identifies the module's weight as 84.2 tons and describes the operation as a milestone in HRSG installation. ENKA is carrying out construction works for Central Térmica de Temane under the 456 MW project. The lift is a defined site activity, rather than confirmation that the whole generating station has entered commercial service.
The company's original contract announcement, dated 5 December 2025, provides context for the equipment installation. The disclosed configuration includes five gas turbines, five HRSGs, one steam turbine and an air-cooled condenser, together with balance-of-plant structures. That announcement described a 23-month completion period. It is the initial contractual programme stated at award, not a newly confirmed completion date in the September lifting update.
The two announcements locate the lifted module within a much larger equipment package. A first HRSG module does not represent all five heat-recovery units, and the station's 456 MW capacity is not a power rating assigned to the 84.2-ton assembly. Keeping equipment weight, unit count and plant output separate makes the physical progress easier to interpret without overstating how much of the complete installation has been finished.
EPC Feed sees this as a useful construction milestone because it identifies the item, operation and date rather than relying on a general statement of progress. The equipment list also highlights interfaces between gas-turbine, heat-recovery and steam systems. Successful lifting establishes one step in assembling those systems; later installation, integration and commissioning evidence would be needed to assess their readiness to work together.
For project tracking, the next updates should be compared with the same disclosed scope and contractual context. Further module installation and subsequent system milestones would show how site work advances across the generating configuration. The confirmed event remains the first HRSG module lift, supported by the earlier contract description. It records tangible progress while leaving the status of remaining equipment and complete-plant operation to later evidence.
