http://www.hopefornigeriaonline.com/v... 215MW Kaduna Power Plant Project
As part of the intervention towards resolving the acute shortage of electric power across the country and in consideration of the persistent challenge of gas supply to existing thermal power stations, the Ministry adopted a strategy of exploiting alternative fuels for power generation. The primary fuel would be initially Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) but the plant is expected to switch to natural gas when the necessary transmission infrastructure is eventually extended to Kaduna. The selection of Kaduna for the project was based on the availability of Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO) from the Kaduna refinery and the technical imperative of balancing the national transmission grid.
A contract for the construction of a dual-fired (LPFO/Gas) power plant with an installed capacity of 215MW (ISO) has been awarded in favour of a consortium of GE (NuovoPignone)/Rockson Engineering Ltd with a completion period of 36 months. The contract sum is €135,840,665.71 plus N6,066,626,449.24. The current status of implementation of the project is as follows as at December 31, 2011: Engineering - 68% Procurement - 60% Construction - 49% Overall - 59%
The projected completion date is put at December, 2013 with the first firing for January 2013
The letters of Credit on off-shore procurement for both GE Nuovo Pignone / Rockson Engineering Ltd have been fully funded to the tune of 135,840,665.71 Euros. It is note worthy to report that Messrs GE Nuovo Pignonehave already delivered to Onne Port all the eights units each of gas turbines & generators and the balance of plants has commenced the installation / erection works on site. However, the on-site is behind scheduled due to the security concerns in Kaduna.
One of the challenges affecting the progress of work on the project is the on-going rehabilitation works of the road selected to transport the heavy equipment from Onne Port to the Kaduna Plant site. Other challenges are variations on the contract sum arising from change in project site from an old PHCN facility to a green field site. The VORS is being reviewed by the Project Consultant Messrs Steag Encoted West Africa Ltd.
