Refurbishment of Morupule A Power Station
BOTSWANA POWER CORPORATION INVITATION TO EXPRESS OF INTEREST TENDER NO. 8665/12 EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR THE REFURBISHMENT OF MORUPULE (A) 132MWCOAL FIRED POWER STATION LOCATED IN BOTSWANA 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) wishes to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment project of Morupule 'A' Power Station, a coalfired 4 x 33MW power plant, to recover plant degradation and restore the power plant's generating capacity to the guaranteed design level of 116MW (Net). 1.2 The BPC is a national power utility wholly owned by the Government of Botswana with a mandate to generate, procure, transmit, distribute and supply electricity in Botswana. 1.3 Morupule 'A' Power Station, with an installed capacity of 4 x 33MW (132MW) is owned, operated and maintained by the BPC. The power plant was commissioned in two stages (Units 1, 2 & 3in 1986 and Unit 4 in 1989) and has been in operation since then until it was placed on care and maintenance in August 2012 due to unreliable aged equipment characterized by frequent breakdowns and hence high cost of operation. 1.4 The BPC would therefore like to put Morupule 'A' Power Stationback into service either through private sector investor funding or public sector funding by Government. Inthe case of private sector funding, the investor would recover the investment through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the BPC. 1.5 It is against the above background that the BPC, with support from its shareholder, the Government of Botswana, is seeking to refurbish Morupule 'A' Power Station through a Public Private Sector Partnership (PPP) or as a Public Sector project through a turnkey EPC contract. 2. PROJECT OUTLINE 2.1 The Table below provides Morupule A basic plant design data. | Table 1: Morupule 'A' Name Plate Data ITEM | PARAMETER DESCRIPTION | DATA | 1 | Installed Plant Capacity | 132 MW | 2 | Net Generation Capacity | 116 MW | 3 | No. Of Units | 4 X 33MW | 4 | Date Commissioned | Unit 1,2&3 | 1986 | Unit 4 | 1989 | 5 | Manufacture | Unit 1,2& 3 | Boiler Lentjes Turbine NEI Parsons Generator Parsons Peebles | Unit 4 | Boiler Lentjes Turbine Toshiba Generator Toshiba 2.2 Due to aged equipment, Morupule 'A' plant availability progressively dropped from over 84% in 2008 to below 30% in 2012 and hence the plant was placed under asset care and maintenance in August 2012 pending execution of a refurbishment project aimed at restoring the powerplant's output to its design level of 116MW (Net) at an availability factor of not less than 80% over a period of 15 years. 2.3 In response to the above, the Government of Botswana (GoB) andthe BPC, through consultants, carried out two studies on Morupule 'A'being residual life assessment and refurbishment and pollution abatement with a view to restore the power plant's dependable generation capacity to the design level (116MW Net) in the shortest possible time. 2.4 From the results of the above referred studies, it was concluded that Morupule 'A' Power Station can be restored into service by carrying out the necessary refurbishment of primary equipment (Boilers, Turbines, Generators) and associated ancillary equipment (balance of plant). 2.5 The proposed refurbishment is to recover plant degradation andrestore firm generation capacity (116MW Net) with a minimum of 80% plant availability. The expected life span of the plant at the said plant availability level when refurbished is at least 15 years. 2.6 The scope of the envisaged Morupule 'A' refurbishment project involves but is not limited to the following:- * assessment, Non Destructive Tests (NDT), replacement and or repair as necessary of Boiler components and Auxiliaries; * assessment, NDT, replacement and or repair as necessary ofthe Steam Turbines; * assessment and repair as necessary of Turbo Generator Sets; * assessment, replace and or repair as necessary of all Balance of Plant (BOP) equipment; * installation of new equipment as necessary, commissioning and testing of all equipment in the whole power plant; and * in the case of private sector funded refurbishment, asset care, operations and maintenance of the power plant under a PPA to be negotiated with the BPC. 3. IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH 3.1 Two options, stated below, to realize Morupule 'A' refurbishment will be considered and the option evaluated to be more viable will be selected for the project. 3.2 Option 1: Private Sector Project Financing Engage a private sector investment partner, lease the plant to theinvestor who in turn would refurbish and operate the power station under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) over an agreed period. In essencethis option is a Public Private Sector Partnership (PPP). Some of the agreements to be considered under this option are:- Morupule 'A' Power Station Lease Agreement; Morupule 'A' Power Purchase Agreement; Morupule 'A' Fuel and Water Supply Agreement; and Morupule 'A' Human Resources Agreement. 3.3 Option 2: Public Sector Funding (Government Finance) Secure services of a qualified and experienced Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor to undertake the required refurbishment works as a turnkey EPC contract. The main agreement for this option would be the Morupule 'A' PowerStation Refurbishment EPC contract. 4.
