Qatar extends bid deadline for Facility E IWPP
Qatar state utility Kahramaa has extended the bid deadline for the planned Facility E independent water and power producer (IWPP) project to 2 April.
The client had previously set a bid submission date of 10 February for the IWPP.
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 leading the EPC team for the desalination plant.
Germany’s Siemens provided turbines and generators for the power plant.
