Expression of Interest are invited for Owners Engineer shall Assist the Employer in the Design Review, Supervising and Coordinating the Engineering, Construction, Inspection, Testing, Commissioning and Taking-over of the Chp Ccpp El-to Zagreb and Related Facilities, including Interconnections to Existing Plant & Systems.
Project Description: Hrvatska elektroprivreda d.d. (HEP or the Employer) intends to apply for a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the Bank) towards the cost of CCPP EL-TO Zagreb.
The project comprises of construction of a CHP CCPP, “CCPP EL-TO Zagreb” which is intended to be done on turnkey basis according to FIDIC Conditions of Contract, with an electrical output of 90 to 150 MW (under ISO conditions) and with heat output between 80 to 120 MWt.
The CCPP EL-TO Zagreb will be the basic heat-generating unit for the location EL-TO Zagreb. Electricity production will be subordinated to heat production. The operation of the Plant will be determined by district heating (DH) loads of the Zagreb district heating system as follows: most of the year the plant will operate according to DH load, whereas the need for industrial steam will be covered if there is any steam left to be supplied from the steam turbine extraction, the balance being covered by other units within the EL-TO Zagreb site. The generated electricity will be transmitted to HV transmission grid (110 kV).
The new CCPP EL-TO Zagreb will be located in a free space within the EL-TO Zagreb site to replace the existing unit “A”. The available area is 4, 700 m2 and free of any underground and ground infrastructure. The site is equipped with required infrastructure, including heating station, roads, water supply and sewage system, gas, telecommunication and electric-power infrastructure, as well as public lighting. The site can be reached by two road entrances/exits, one from the north and the other from the eastern side.
The Contract will cover Engineering, Procurement and Construction on turnkey basis applying FIDIC Conditions of Contract. This will include licensing, permitting, site preparation and installation along with all necessary interconnections to existing facilities within EL-TO and infrastructure, certification, training, commissioning (incl. functional testing, guarantee tests and trial run) until Taking-Over.
