The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has begun procurement procedures for gas-fired power plants within the framework of a loan and donor agreement with the oil company Ukrnafta on its own electronic platform.
This is stated in a message from Ukrnafta, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
The message states that this is an open competition in one stage.
Applications from suppliers will be accepted until January 27, 2025.
Ukrnafta Director Serhii Koretskyi explains that two procurements have now been announced.
The first is for the supply of gas-fired power plants and cogeneration plants for 3 facilities.
It is noted that these are large plants with a total installed electrical capacity of about 70 MW.
The second procurement has been announced for the supply of power plants with gas engines in containers.
These are, in fact, modular installations that can be moved depending on needs.
The total electricity capacity is about 56 MW.
"Also, in both lots, the main auxiliary equipment and related services are being purchased. Procurement through the EBRD platform means that the highest standards of competitive selection, transparency and integrity will be met," Koretskyi emphasized.
This is the first stage of the implementation of distributed generation projects in Ukrnafta.
After the equipment is purchased, procedures will begin for the procurement of services of contractors who will carry out all the necessary construction and installation work.
During 2025, it is planned to manufacture, supply and install gas-fired power plants.
The project is financed by an EBRD loan, co-financed with investment grants from the Netherlands, the U.S. and Norway, as well as a special technical cooperation grant.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in early December, PJSC Ukrnafta, part of the Naftogaz group, received EUR 80 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for the construction of modern distributed gas generation.
