Re: Construction of a Coal Power Plant by Mauritius CT Power Limited (MCTPL)

at Pointes aux Caves

Dear Sir/Madam

We wish to inform you that a common platform has been setup, with the Action Civique
d’Albion Plage (ACAP) and Mouvement Civique de Pointe aux Sables (MCPAS).

We have taken note of the judgement of the Environment Appeal Tribunal, ordering the
Ministry of Environment to grant the EIA License to MCTPL, upon fulfilment of certain
conditions and the declaration of the Minister of Environment made on the 17 September
2012 on the subject.

On behalf of the inhabitants of Albion, Pointe aux Sables and surrounding villages we
wish to inform you that we are against this project and we will object to the issuance of a
Building and Land Use Permit, shall it be applied by MCTPL and any other permits they
may apply.

Taking into consideration various reports carried out by different organisations on the
negative effects of having a coal power plant near residential areas (health and safety,
environment, tourism and the economy as a whole) and the avow of the Honourable
Minister himself, we are more than ever anxious.

A petition against the proliferation of coal power plants in Mauritius and the Full Report
of the Physicians for Social Responsibility (1985 Nobel Peace Prize) Coal's Assault on
Human Health has been sent to you by email.

Thanks and kind regards,
