The Electricity Ministry has delayed bidding on the USD 8 bn Hamrawein “clean coal” power plant to next month from mid-October, sources tell Al Mal. The delay reportedly came at the request of the bidding companies, sources added. As we noted back in June, General Electric, Shanghai Electric, and a Marubeni-Mitsubishi JV were the top players bidding on the plant. The ministry is looking to sign contracts for the plant by the end of 2018, with an eye to completing the project by 2025.
