Five consortiums of local and international companies have submitted financial and technical offers to set up the necessary infrastructure to protect the USD 30 bn Dabaa nuclear plant from groundwater in the first major tender for the plant by Russia’s state-owned nuclear company Rosatom, according to Al Mal. The consortiums included Orascom Construction, Arab Contractors, Bachy Soletanche Limited, and partnerships between Petrojet and APCC, and Hassan Allam and German Power. News of the tender comes days after the Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA) compiled a list of Egyptian companies that could subcontract with Rosatom to work on the plant.
