It is reported that SIPP Energy in linked to the Johor Sultan. The inclusion of all three parties under a consortium and the award, the EC said, was based on their ability to offer “competitive rates” in the recently concluded tender exercises. The development of the proposed combined-cycle power plant (CCGT) with a capacity of 1,000–1,400 MW is on condition that the technical and commercial proposal are acceptable to the EC. The commission said the use of only proven gas turbine technology would ensure that all reputable gas turbine manufacturers were able to participate in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) portion of the project. “The levelised tariff that may be considered competitive must be comparable to the Prai CCGT tender exercise concluded in 2012,'' the commission said in a statement dated May 31.

It said the decision the expedite the project was to meet the anticipated system requirements in the medium term. |
