Germany's Siemenshas entered into negotiations for the gas turbine package on the 750-MW combined-cycle power station to be built at Talkha. The contract calls for the supply and installation of two 250-MW turbines and auxiliaries, two main transformers, two start-up transformers, a diesel generator and an overhead crane, as well as associated mechanical and electrical works (MEED 7:5:04).
The other bidders are GE Power Systemsof the US, and a Japanese team of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI)with Tomen Corporation. The gas turbine contracts on the previous two schemes in the crash power programme, Cairo North 2 and Nuberiya, were awarded to GE and MHI/Tomen respectively. All three groups have also submitted bids for the gas turbine package on the 750-MW combined cycle project at Kureimat, which is running four- to-six weeks behind the tendering schedule for Talkha (MEED 28:3:04). The government in mid-July signed $225 million in concessionary loans for the Talkha project, shortly before three bids were submitted for the estimated $25 million-30 million civil works package. Bids are under evaluation.
