Energa with three bids to build Ostrołęka power unit at PLN 4.85 - 9.59 bln

WSE-listed utility Energa received three bids to build a third generation unit at its Ostrołęka, the company said in a market filing. The lowest bid, at PLN 4.85 billion was placed by China Power Engineering, with GE Power/Alstom bid at PLN 6.02 billion, and Polimex-Mostostal/Rafako consortium at PLN 9.59 billion. Energa previously said that it plans to spend PLN 4.8 billion on the scheme. The company is also one of the shareholders of Polimex-Mostostal along with other state-run utilities and natural gas giant PGNiG. The coal-fired block in Ostrołęka will have 1,000 MW capacity. Energa and other WSE-listed, state-owned utility Enea will have 50 percent stake each in the project. “Price is not the lone criterium in this tender, just one of the components,” the company added. Consortiums led by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, and Mostostal Warszawa were also asked to bid, but did not submit any offers.
