This is the third 250 MW Steam Turbine and Auxiliaries package awarded to the
same consortium. Same packages were awarded in 10/2004 for Cairo North II 750
MW and in 05/2005 for New Talkha 750 MW Combined Cycle Power Plants. This
consortium has also been awarded in 01/2007 the contract for 2 x 350 MW steam
turbine generator units & condensers for El Tebbin Thermal Power Plant in
Cairo.
This project is in the framework of the Electricity Sector's current five year
fast-track program 2007-2012 to add 7800 MW to the installed capacity, serving
industrial development and satisfying increasing household demand on
electricity.
El Kureimat is located 95 K M south Cairo on the eastern bank of Nile river, in
the zone administered by Upper Egypt Electricity Production Co. By the
completion of all of its modules, Kureimat will become the biggest electricity
generation compound in Egypt with 2900 MW installed capacity, higher than the
Aswan High Dam's 2100 MW. |
