Summary
BOTSWANA POWER CORPORATION
INVITATION TO TENDER
TENDER NO. 1050B/1
APPOINTMENT OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR FOR THE GENERATION EXPANSION PROJECT AT
MORUPULE POWER STATION
Background
Botswana is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. It shares its border
with South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The country's total land
area is 582 000 km². The population of Botswana is 1 680 900 (2001
population census). Botswana Power Corporation is the National
Electricity Utility, which is wholly Government owned.
Over the last few years Botswana Power Corporation has enjoyed an
unprecedented load growth, averaging 10% per annum. In this regard, about
70%, of its electrical energy requirements, are met through power imports
from the Southern African Power Pool countries (SAPP), mainly from Eskom
in South Africa. The balance is met through internal generation, at the
country's only Power Station, the Morupule Power Station, which comprises
4 x 33 MW coal fired air cooled units.
The Southern Africa region is currently faced with a diminishing surplus
generation capacity situation, which is expected to run out between 2007
and 2010. In this regard, the SAPP Utilities, with the support of SADC
Ministers in Charge of Energy, have endorsed short term and long term
Pool Plans.
Due to the looming energy crisis and to some extent the element of
increasing the level of self-sufficiency locally, the Government fully
supports the Botswana Power Corporation's decision to proceed with the
Generation Expansion Project.
Invitation To Tender for the Provision of Services of a Financial Advisor
The feasibility study for the expansion of the existing Morupule Power
Station, which has a current capacity of 132 MW, was completed in 2004.
The results of the Feasibility Study is a Bankable Feasibility report
which states that expanding the Power Station, through the installation
of a 4 x 100 MW coal fired air cooled units, is both financially and
economically viable.
Against this background, the Botswana Power Corporation hereby invites
Financial Consultants interested in being appointed to act as Financial
Advisors to the Corporation on this project to submit their proposals.
The primary undertaking will be to structure and implement a competitive
financial package for the funding of the Generation Expansion Project at
the existing Morupule Power Station, at Palapye, in central Botswana.
The tender documents may be collected from the address of the Botswana
Power Corporation office detailed below upon payment of a non-refundable
document fee of P125.00 per copy, inclusive of VAT. The non-refundable
document fee for South African registered bidders is R150.00 and of other
foreign registered bidders the fee is USD 50.
