Namibia to solicit bids for gas project
Namibia’s Nampower
plans to solicit bids as early as April for the $1 billion power plant
that forms part of its Kudu gas-to-power project, the power utility’s
managing director told Reuters on Wednesday.
The development of
the 1.3 trillion cubic feet offshore gas field has been plagued for
over a decade by price disagreements and technical difficulties.
Russian gas
exporter, Gazprom, which had been in talks to build the 800 megawatt
plant for the project, will now have to go up against other bidders,
Paulus Shilamba told Reuters in an interview.
“We are looking for a partner for construction of the plant,” he said.
