Race to Add New Unit at Montenegro's Pljevlja TPP Down to Three Cos

Montenegrin state-owned power utility Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) said on Friday three companies are left in the race for the contract to build a second unit at the Pljevlja thermal power plant (TPP).

Talks will continue with Czech company Skoda Praha, Powerchina Hubei Electric Power Survey & Design Institute and China Machinery Engineering Corporation, EPCG said in a statement.

The shortlist for the project announced by EPCG in December included also a consortium headed by Slovakia's Istroenergo.

The next phase in the process will include preparation of draft agreements with all three candidates as well as drawing up the final feasibility study before picking a contractor for the job, the company said.

The capacity of the new unit is planned at 220-300 megawatts.
