Developers to submit proposals online for major IWPP

Qatar state utility Kahramaa will enable developers to submit proposals online for the planned Facility E independent water and power producer (IWPP) project.

 

In March, the client extended the bid deadline from 2 April to 30 April. The bid deadline had already been moved from the original submission date of 10 February.

 

According to sources close to the project, the due date is currently still set for 30 April, but developers have been informed they can submit proposals electronically due to the travel restrictions and other measures being undertaken in response to the Covid-19 outbreak.

 

The Facility E IWPP is expected to have a power generation capacity of 2,300MW and a desalination capacity of 100 million imperial gallons a day (MIGD).

 

Energy & Utilities understands that prequalified bidders for the project include: Engie (France) / Mitsui (Japan), Itochu (Japan), Kepco (South Korea) / Mitsubishi (Japan), Marubeni (Japan), PowerChina (China) and Japan's Sumitomo.

 

The appointed advisory consortium for the project includes UK-based EY as financial adviser, Finland’s Poyry as technical adviser and the UK’s DLA Piper as legal adviser.

 

The Facility E IWPP is the first cogeneration project that Qatar has proceeded with since it commissioned the Facility D IWPP in 2018. The Facility D plant was developed with a power generation capacity of 2,500MW and a desalination component of 136 MIGD.

 

The Facility D IWPP was developed by a consortium led by Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation and Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco). South Korea’s Samsung C&T was the main engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the 2.5GW combined-cycle power plant, with Japan’s Hitachi Zosen the lead contractor for the desalination plant.

 

Germany’s Siemens provided turbines and generators for the power plant.
