INVITATION TO TENDER TENDER NO. 1050B/2
APPOINTMENT OF OWNER’S ENGINEER
FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MORUPULE POWER STATION EXPANSION PROJECT
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 of South Africa. The balance is met through internal generation, at the country’s only Power Station, the Morupule Power Station, which comprises of 4 x 33MW coal fired air cooled units.
The Southern African 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.
