Eight international firms submitted technical offers for the Saudi-Egyptian electricity interconnection project, Electricity Ministry officials tell Daily News Egypt. The pool of bidders reportedly includes Saudi’s NCC, China’s State Grid Corporation, Korea’s Hyundai, India’s KEC International Limited, Energy China, and India’s Kalpataru Power Transmission. Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company Chairman Gaber El Dessouki was in Riyadh earlier this month to follow up on the project, which will see Egypt and Saudi exchange up to 3 GW of electricity. Trial operations are set to start in 2019.
