Three engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors - Enelpowerand Ansaldo Energia, both of Italy, and Paris-based Alstom- have submitted proposals to build the combined-cycle gas turbine plant, which will use up to 120 million cubic feet a day of unprocessed gas sourced from BG's offshore interests in the Miskar concession. Feedstock may also come from the Hasdrubal gas and condensate discovery. Construction of the plant is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2004 and the Barca IPP is expected to come on stream in late 2006.
