05Common questions

Can foreign investors own a mining company?

Yes, but foreign-owned mining licence holders are subject to divestment obligations over time. We explain how this affects your plans.

What is a power purchase agreement?

It is the contract under which a power producer sells electricity to a buyer, typically the state electricity company, and sets the tariff and key risks.

Which environmental approval do we need?

It depends on the scale and impact of the activity. Larger projects need a full environmental impact assessment (AMDAL), while smaller ones may need UKL-UPL or a simpler statement.
