Advisory services sought for concession of Zungeru hydropower plant

The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) and the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), invites expressions of interest by 31 March from qualified technical advisers to provide transaction advisory services for the award of a concession for the 700 MW Zungeru hydroelectric plant on the Kaduna river in the northern state of Niger. The project has currently exceeded 87 per cent completion and is scheduled to be operational by December 2021, according to the tender notice on the website of BPE. The project, which will be the second biggest hydroelectric dam in Nigeria after the 760 MW Kainji hydropower dam, is designed to generate 2630 GWh/year, equivalent to around 10 per cent of the country's supply requirements. In addition to electricity generation, the project will also provide flood control, irrigation and water supply.
