Abu Dhabi invites bidders to visit 350-MW solar project site at end-May

The organisers of the 350-MW solar auction in Abu Dhabi, scheduled for September, will be holding a two-day programme in the emirate at the end of the month to provide pre-qualified bidders with more information about the project.

Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) and Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Company (ADWEC) have invited bidders to attend a site visit and conference in Abu Dhabi, starting on May 30, according to a news release on Monday. At the event, ADWEA and ADWEC will share relevant procedural details concerning the process set out in the Request for Proposals (RFP), they said.

As previously announced, ADWEA has prequalified 34 companies to participate in the competition. The winner will take a 40% stake in a project company that will develop, finance, build and maintain a 350-MW solar power plant in the Eastern Region of the emirate, near the town of Sweihan.

The tender will be held on September 19, 2016. The bidders will be required to submit their proposals in person.
