Winning bidder will convert third phase of power plant from simple to combined cycle technology
Jordan’s Samra Electric Power Generating Company (Sepgco) has extended the deadline for bids to convert the third phase of the Samra power station from simple cycle to combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) technology.
Contractors now have until 19 January 2012. The deadline has been moved several times since the original bid submission date of 29 September.
There has been no prequalification stage. All companies that submitted expressions of interest are eligible to bid. The conversion project will add 140MW of extra power-generating capacity to the project’s third phase, which currently has a capacity of 286MW.
The project will be funded by the Arab Fund for Economic & Social Development (AFESD), the Jordanian government, the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development and the Saudi Fund for Development. The expansion of the third phase is expected by the fourth quarter of 2013.
The third phase of Samra power station featuring simple-cycle technology and was built by South Korea’s Hanwha Engineering & Construction. It was commissioned in May.
Two other phases were previously built at the site at Zarqa, located about 35 kilometres north of Amman. Both phases of 300MW each use CCGT technology.
