General Electricity Company of Libya (Gecol) has issued contractors with letters of intent to award contracts on the 1,400 MW extension to the Tripoli West power plant and the construction of the

Al-Khaleej power plant

(MEED 2:3:07).

For Tripoli West, South Korea's Daewoo Engineering & Construction has now

been awarded the civil

works package.

Another Korean company, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, will install the steam turbine and carry out electromechanical works Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction will provide the boiler and Greece's Archirodon will be responsible for

offshore work.

Hyundai and Doosan will carry out the same work on

the identical Al-Khaleej steam plant, alongside Turkey's Gama, which will actually carry out the civil works, and France's Geocean, which won the offshore works package.

The desalination capacity of the plant is expected to increase from 7,000 to 40,000 cubic metres a day to replace the scrapped Sirte desalination plant (MEED 20:7:07).
