Saudis to launch<\/b> Egypt-Saudi interconnection tender in June: <\/b>The Saudi government will issue in June a new tender for its power transmission lines that will be part of the now USD 2.5 bn Egypt-Saudi interconnection project, sources told the local press<\/a>.

This caused the cost estimates to shoot upward to USD 2.5 bn, and necessitated a new tender.<\/p>\n

Egypt, meanwhile, has completed its power line tenders<\/b> and is waiting on the new route to begin construction, the sources noted. Authorities from both sides agreed to finalize preparations in December and begin construction by no later than 1Q2020.
