This combined cycle plant would utilize a General Electric (GE) 9FB gas turbine that would produce 400-435 MW of electricity, employ one Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) and one steam turbine. With the proposed gas turbine combined cycle power plant, PEDO seeks to diversity into thermal power generation taking advantage of the long term availability of natural gas in the Province. Being a provincial government agency PEDO is in a unique and advantageous position to develop this project. The main objective of this gas turbine combined cycle plant would be to eliminate load shedding in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The selected Contractor will evaluate the technical, economic and financial viability of a 400-435 MW gas-fired combined cycle plant ("Project ") that the Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organization ("Grantee" or "PEDO") is developing on behalf of the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ("GoKP") in Pakistan. This plant is anticipated to eventually be expanded to approximately double the initial capacity of 400-435 MW. Assuming the plant's technical, economic, and financial viability are evaluated favorably, a secondary objective is to facilitate approval by a Panel of Experts (POE) at the Private Power and Infrastructure Board of Pakistan (PPIB), which is required before the Project can be implemented. During the course of the Study, Contractor's deliverables in accordance with the tasks below should incorporate any comments received from the POE. The Grantee shall be responsible for presenting the Study to the POE and for conveying any comments, suggestions or changes to the Contractor until the point of approval by the POE (within the timeframe established for the Study). The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a US$1,026,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and portions of a background desk study report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901.
