Debswana operated the Morupule Colliery at Palapye, which is located about 175 km south of Francistown. Much of the company's coal production was sold to the adjacent Morupule Power Station (MPS) of Botswana Power Corp. (BPC). Record coal sales in 2005 were 967,242 t, which was an 8% increase compared with the total in 2004. A coal washing plant was under construction.
