Summary
PROPOSED ENERGY SECTOR RECOVERY PROJECT - KENYA
REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
CONSULTANCY SERVICES FOR OLKARIA II THIRD UNIT EXTENSION PROJECT
The Government of Kenya is seeking financing from international funding
institutions, including the World Bank (IDA) and the European Investment
Bank (EIB), to help finance the installation of a third unit at Olkaria
II Power Station.
The Implementing Agency for the project is the Kenya Electricity
Generating Company Limited (KenGen). KenGen is a limited liability
company 100% owned by the Government of Kenya. It supplies about 80% of
the electricity used in the Country. The Company utilizes various sources
to generate electricity ranging from hydro, geothermal, thermal and wind.
It has a total installed capacity of about 1000 MW.
The Olkaria geothermal field is located in the Kenya Rift Valley about
120 km from Nairobi. Three plants (Olkaria I, II & III) are producing
from the system. The geothermal field has been subdivided into blocks
that include Olkaria East (I), Olkaria Northeast (II), Olkaria West (III)
and Olkaria Domes (IV) fields. Olkaria East production field supplies
steam to the 45 (3x15) MWe Olkaria I power plant. Olkaria Northeast field
provides steam to 70 (2x35) MWe Olkaria II power plant. The two power
plants are owned by KenGen, while Olkaria III is an IPP.
Whereas Olkaria I power plant has an installed capacity of 45 MW, the
steam available currently stands at an equivalent of about 70 MW,
resulting in a surplus of 25 MW in the field. The steam available at the
Olkaria II power plant is estimated at 98 MW. This indicates a surplus
steam supply of 28 MW. The combined steam surplus at the two fields is
therefore about 53 MW.
Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) now intends to add a third
Unit of 35 MW at Olkaria II to utilize excess steam in the two fields. To
this end KenGen intends to engage the services of a consultant, using IDA
financing, to supervise implementation of the project.
Interested consulting firms are invited to submit their Expression of
Interest for supervising the implementation of the Olkaria II Third Unit
Extension Project. The implementation period for the project is estimated
at about 30 months. The project, include the consultants services, is
expected to commence around October 2004.
A consultant will be selected in accordance with the procedures set out
in the World Bank's Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants
by the World Bank Borrowers, January 1997, Revised September 1997,
January 1999, May 2002 and May 2004.
Needed qualifications are: a track record of relevant experience on
geothermal power plants, supervision of implementation of at least one
geothermal power plant during the last 5 years. Experience on the design
and engineering of geothermal plants and their associated steam field. In
addition to the firm's experience, a list of professional staff expected
to take part in the project should also be listed.
