Coal mine company RMU Banovici announced that over the next 60 days all qualified bidders will be filing their final technical and financial offers in a tender to finance and build a 350 MW thermal power plant (TPP) while their opening is expected around July 20.
The bids will be scored by a commission of experts and a consulting firm, after which a proposal will be forwarded to the company’s supervisory board and management to proceed with further activities with the aim of signing a turn-key deal with the highest-ranked bidder, the company said in a press release.
Earlier this year, RMU Banovici said it expects to sign a deal in 2015 with a strategic partner for the construction and financing of the TPP, while its construction could start mid-2016.
The estimated cost of the Banovici 1 TPP project is 584 million .
