Namibia’s power utility NamPower has invited qualified companies to tender for the contract to carry out an air quality monitoring study for the proposed Kudu combined cycle gas turbine power station at Uubvlei, near Oranjemund, in Namibia.

The Kudu gas-to-power station, with an estimated project value of $1-billion, would use natural gas from the Kudu gasfield, located 170 km offshore, and would be connected to the Namibian and South African power grids.

NamPower will buy power from the plant under a long-term power purchase agreement for local and regional use.

The utility, in July, approved a shortlist of 15 international companies and consortiums that applied to participate in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tender for the design, supply, manufacture, delivery, erection, testing and commissioning of the power station.

NamPower was expected to award the EPC tender during the second quarter of 2014.

The project’s 36-month construction phase was scheduled to start during the fourth quarter of 2014, with commissioning of the power station expected to start in the second half of 2017.

Meanwhile, NamPower was also seeking investment partners for the Kudu project, with the potential strategic equity investor expected to be selected during the fourth quarter of this year.

Parties interested in carrying out the air quality monitoring study had to submit their bids by November 1.
