Gazprombank is in negotiations to buy a 54 percent stake in Namibia's Kudu gas project, Isak Katali, the southern African country's mines minister, told Namibian state radio.
Gazprombank will decide by the middle of December on the proposals, Katali said.
The sides are divided on the currency used to sell the gas, with regional customers seeking to buy using South African rand and investors planning to sell in dollars, he said, adding that Namibia is ready to shelve development should talks fail. The proposals include an 800-
megawatt gas-fired power station at Oranjemund to be managed by state-run Nampower. Kudu has 1.8 trillion cubic meters of proven reserves.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
