Tanzania to launch Somanga Fungu tender

Issue 333 - 29 Oct 2016 | 1 minute read

Tanzania’s plans for competitive procurement are moving ahead, with Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) expected to issue a request for qualification imminently for the 250MW Somanga Fungu gas-to-power project, transaction adviser K&M Advisors president Alfonso Guzman told African Energy. “The form of development is still under discussion and will be finalised before the request for proposals is issued to prequalified bidders,” Guzman said. Tanesco has struggled to keep up with payments to independent power producers (IPPs) in the country. A more active role in Somanga Fungu for the utility might help alleviate fears about receiving payments, although questions remain about its reliability as a partner.
