Power generated by natural gas expected in 2021
August 28, 2019
Natural gas for power generation should be expected on the island late in 2021, the head of the natural gas public company (Defa) said on Tuesday.
Symeon Kassianides briefed President Nicos Anastasiades on Tuesday on the successful completion of the tender procedure for the construction of the infrastructure necessary to import gas for power generation.
A multinational consortium made up of China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering, Aktor and Metron S.A., with Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, and Wilhelmsen Ship Management has ranked first in the evaluation for the construction of the infrastructure.
Kassianides said the procedure was now in its final stage when other bidders can appeal the decision.
