Saudi Power Procurement Company re-tenders gas-fired projects to include carbon capture

Saudi Power Procurement Company is re-tendering power projects to add carbon capture capacity: State-owned Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPCC) intends to re-tender two independent gas-fired combined-cycle power projects to provide both with carbon capture and sequestration capacity, the company noted last week. Under the re-tendering process, the projects will be split into four smaller combined cycle power projects with a 1.8 GW capacity each. Developers that have already qualified for the Taiba and Qassim IPPs will automatically qualify to bid for the new projects, while other interested developers can submit qualification documents, the SPCC website notes. The company will issue a request for proposals on 20 January, it adds.
