Project Scope:
- Design and develop a power generation facility to meet ZATCA's specified electricity demand at the EQ land port, adhering to the minimum technical requirements and output specifications.
- Operate and maintain the power generation facility for a defined project term, ensuring compliance with ZATCA's technical standards and output specifications.
- Generate and distribute power up to the ZATCA interface point.
- Obtain relevant permits and necessary approvals for the plant's construction and operation.
The deadline for this RFQ is July 21, 2024.
