The Electricity Ministry is planning to announce the results of the tender for the 6 GW Hamrawein “clean coal” power plant on 13 June, once it completes its review of the offers, a ministry source tells Amwal Al Ghad. This comes after the three bidding consortia contacted the ministry about the delay in announcing the results, which were initially scheduled for late April and then delayed to late May. The government began studying the offers last month. The lowest offer of USD 4.4 bn reportedly came from a Shanghai Electric-Dong Fang-Hassan Allam consortium, while GE offered to build the project for USD 5.2 bn, and an Orascom Construction-Elsewedy Electric-Mitsubishi Hitachi consortium offered USD 6.19 bn.
