The Belgian consulting office Tractebel is starting to study the offers provided by three alliances to set up a coal power plant in the Hamrawein area next month. The sources pointed out that the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) received technical and financial offers from General Electric (GE) alliance, Shanghai Electric alliance, and Mitsubishi-Marubeni alliance. The targeted capacity to be launched at the coal power plant in the Hamrawein area is 6,000 MW, with investments worth $10bn. The sources pointed out that no further offers will be received for the Hamrawein power plant, especially since the three advanced alliances include major international companies, featuring sufficient expertise. The coal power plants are part of the ministry’s plan to diversify sources of energy production to provide uninterrupted power supply and maintain sustainability, the sources said.
