Prai gas turbine plant project to be awarded in October

The Combined Cycle Gas Turbine plant construction in Prai, Penang, and an extension of the first generation power purchase agreement will be awarded in October.

Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister, Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui said the bid process was conducted via the newly introduced International Competitive Bidding standard, to provide the best value to the country and enhance transparency as well as efficiency in the government's deliverables.

"The competitive bidding will result in a new capacity to be installed at the Prai plant, using the latest gas turbines of significantly higher efficiency, to optimise the use of gas which is more environmentally friendly," he added.

Chin said the newly developed gas turbines could surpass the 60 per cent efficiency in combined cycle mode to cater for the increasing demand expected by 2017.

The ICB was also used in calling for the selective bidding exercise among the first generation Independent Power Producers and Tenaga Nasional Bhd's ageing plants, he said.
