EEHC in talks with Siemens to manage, maintain combined cycle power plants

EEHC in talks with Siemens to manage, maintain combined cycle power plants: The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) is in talks with Siemens for the day-to-day management and maintenance of the three Siemens combined-cycle power plants in the new capital, Burullus, and Beni Suef, unnamed Electricity Ministry sources tell Al Mal. The EEHC wants to see the company handling the plants for eight years, beginning in 2019, the sources say. The EEHC had issued an open tender for the management and maintenance of the plants back in November. It remains unclear whether Siemens is the frontrunner of the EEHC’s tender. The sources say the final contracts will be signed during 3Q2018. The three fully-commissioned plants are expected to be inaugurated this month with a combined production output of 14.4 GW.
