The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) is issuing a limited tender for three international companies to build five power transmission control centers across Cairo, Alexandria and the Suez, ministry sources told Al Mal. Offers from Siemens, General Electric and Schneider Electric will be considered since the companies had prequalified for the projects in a previous tender that was canceled last May. The EEHC will finance the projects using a EGP 19 bn loan it had received last year from a banking consortium led by the National Bank of Egypt and Banque Misr, with construction expected to begin by mid-2019.
