Description
Objectives
The project concerns the construction of a single-shaft combined-cycle power plant with a capacity of around 400 MW in Sousse.
The primary objectives of the Sousse power plant are:
- to upgrade electricity generating capacity in order to meet growing demand, ensure the network's balance and support the country's economic development;
- to deploy combined-cycle technology (gas turbine with steam cycle) to increase the thermal efficiency of the system by improving the output and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and polluants.
Environmental aspects
Procurement
A preliminary study of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the project was produced in accordance with current Tunisian legislation. The promoter complied with the Bank's requirements, in particular with regard to the public consultation of the communities affected by the project.
Having carried out the previous projects, the promoter is fully familiar with the Bank’s procurement procedures and issues international calls for tender.
