Jordan’s NEPCO offers flexibility in mid-term LNG tender

Jordan’s state-owned power producer, National Electric Power Co (NEPCO), has issued a clarification to the participants interested in its mid-term tender that is due to close on 2 September.

In an update issued on 24 July, NEPCO said it accepts cargo sizes of around 155,000cbm, while the energy value of each cargo should be 3.0-3.6Btu. This equates to 16-17 cargoes annually for a period of four years, starting from 2016.

NEPCO had initially stated in its first tender for two September cargoes (see separate story) that it required a cargo size of 151,500cbm and an energy value of 3.0-3.3Btu. These two requirements had meant that Nigeria-sourced 151,500cbm cargoes would not qualify for the tender.

The tender seeking a supply of 59,130,000/MMBtu annually over four years will be awarded no later than 30 September this year. roman.kazmin@icis.com
