Prequalification bids are sought by 18 October for two separate contracts: the repair and major overhaul of turbines 1 and 2 (Tender No. PA/001/2018-19/NZN/W/04); and, the repair and major overhaul of the generator of unit 1 (Tender No. PA/001/2018-19/NZN/W/05).
The New Pangani Falls power station, comprising an underground powerhouse equipped with two Francis turbines, a 1.5 km-long unlined tunnel and a 10 m-high earth and rockfill dam at Koani in the Muheza district, was commissioned in 1994-95. The plant utilizes the total head and flow available on the lower reaches of the river Pangani, downstream of the 21 MW Hale storage hydropower plant, generating average annual output of 367 GWh under a head of 170 m. The plant has a capacity that is four times greater than the Old Pangani Falls plant, which was closed to allow the redevelopment.
The two contracts are among ten separate contracts issued by the state power utility on 14 September.
