EEHC to select winning bids in management, maintenance tender for Siemens plants in May

The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) is expected to select the winning bid in the tender for the day-to-day management and maintenance of the three Siemens combined-cycle power plants next month, EEHC sources said. The EEHC has shortlisted four out of seven companies and consortia, including Siemens, an Orascom-ADERA Energy consortium, an Elsewedy-EDF consortium, a STEAG GmbH-PGESCo consortium, a Triangle-GD France consortium, Korea’s Doosan, and Japan’s Mitsubishi. The sources did not disclose which four have been shortlisted. The three fully-commissioned plants are also expected to be inaugurated next month with a combined production output of 14.4 GW, as we noted last week.
