| Description: | REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR THE PARTICIPATION AS AN INVESTOR {STRATEGIC PARTNER) IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COAL MINING AND COAL FIRED POWER PLANT(S) IN ENUGU AXIS, NIGERIA INTRODUCTION The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) is promoting an accelerated utilization of coal for power generation along the Enugu Axis. A Feasibility Study on Nigerian Coal Resource Development was prepared for the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development by Behre Dolbear in February 2006. The report recommended that the Government of Nigeria should initiate and fund a Coal Exploration Program to define the resources and, thereby, provide the private sector with information required to determine the bankability for economic development. Part of the conclusion was in identifying the Enugu based coal deposits to have a high potential to economically supply coal to a mine mouth coal-fired power plant. In 2011 the Federal Executive Council approved the preparation of a Feasibility Study for a Coal-To-Power (C2P) project in Enugu Axis and appointed consultants with expertise in Mining and Coal Power Generation to prepare the requisite documents. In June 2016 the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing (FMPWH) published "the Nigerian Power Sector Investment Opportunities and Guidelines". In order to further the ongoing works towards the development of Coal Mines and Coal-Fired Power Plant(s), the Project Consultant on behalf of the promoter was instructed to advertise for a reputable and experienced investor, or a consortium of investors to finance, build, operate and manage coal mine(s) and coal-fired power plant(s) under an Independent Power Producer (IPP) framework in Enugu Axis, Nigeria. DESCRIPTION The FGN has retained licences for a number of coal blocks in the Enugu Axis and designs for 3 power plants located in North, Central and South of Enugu State have been prepared for the FMPWH by STEAG encotec GmbH (Germany) together with Coal Exploration Programme developed by International Mining Corporation (UK). REQUIREMENTS The investor may consist of a single firm or a consortium of firms with the necessary financial and technical competences to develop the coal resources from their present state and build, operate and manage coal fired power plants as an IPP.
