Kerawalapitiya LNG plant tender: Korean consortium appeals View(s):The proposed award of the Kerawalapitiya 300MW Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) power plant tender to Lakdhanavi Ltd, has been referred to the Procurement Appeals Board (PAB) by a consortium comprising Samsung C&T, Korea Midland Power Co. (KOMIPO) and GS Energy. But now, the Korean consortium is up in arms over the decision to award Lakdhanavi the project. The tender is for a combined cycle power plant powered by dual fuel. However, none of the other bidders’ plants were designed to facilitate an RLNG operation, even two years after completion of the power plant, the consortium states. It maintains that the other bidders have not factored in fuel gas receiving facilities necessary to operate the combined cycle power plant on RLNG.
