The
Board of Directors of Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited has approved the
Capacity Recovery Plan (CRP) for the rehabilitation of the Kainji and Jebba
hydropower plants in Nigeria (with a total installed capacity of 1.3 GW)
prepared by RusHydro International AG, a subsidiary of RusHydro.
The
next step for RusHydro International AG will be to assist Mainstream Energy
Solutions, which bought both plants through the power privatisation process, to
prepare tender documentation and commence procurement (tender) procedures for
the supply of equipment, construction, and assembly work.
In
2013, RusHydro and Mainstream Energy signed a five-year cooperation agreement
in regards to modernisation of the Kainji and Jebba hydropower plants in
Nigeria.
The
engineering services provided by RusHydro International AG include development
of project documentation, organisation of tenders for equipment supply as well
as for installation and construction works, and also consulting on operation
and maintenance of the plants. RusHydro International AG implements the project
in partnership with Institute Hydroproject (RusHydro Group), Pöyry and Mott
MacDonald.
The
Kainji and Jebba hydropower plants are located on the River Niger, and have
installed capacity of 750 MW and 578 MW, respectively.
The
current available capacity of the plants is substantially below their installed
capacity.
The
concession conditions provide for rehabilitation and modernisation of the power
plants and bringing their capacity back to the design level.
