Background:

In 2014, USTDA funded the Royal Power Gas-Fired IPP Feasibility Study for the Royal Power Integrated and General Services Limited Company (RPIS), a private sector independent power producer and energy advisory company in Nigeria. The objective of the feasibility study was to assist RPIS in completing the technical and financial feasibility analyses that are required to obtain a power generation license from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), as obtaining a license is a prerequisite to enter into a power purchase agreement (PPA).

The Study also helped the grantee prepare the necessary documentation to secure financing support for implementing and operating a 275 megawatt (MW) combined cycle gas-fired power plant based in Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria. The contractor for this project was NOVI Energy, Inc. The Final Report was submitted in February 2016 and approved by RPIS in April 2016.

RPIS invites interested EPC Contractors to submit Expressions of Interest in providing Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services necessary for turnkey implementation of its power plant.

Interested EPC and O&M contractors are requested to submit via email an Expression of Interest with a detailed background including the company's profile and information regarding past and current projects.

Key criterion for shortlisting will be:

-          Overall contractor experience for similar power plants;

-          Experience in African terrain;

-          Ability to provide both EPC as well as O&M services; and

-          Track record of completing such projects in a timely manner.

Based on an evaluation of the Expressions of Interest received, successful applicants will be issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT) and other bidding documents. RPIS is expected to complete the evaluation process by the end of August.

Proposal Deadline: July 15, 2016
