With only three months remaining before the next coal unloading season begins, the closing date for the long-term tender to procure 50% of the coal requirements for the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant has been extended for the second time to 24 June official sources said ,. The tender, covering the periods 2024/’25 and 2025/’26, aims to secure a total volume of 2.25 million MT of coal. It is reliably learned that the Standing Cabinet-Appointed Procurement Committee (SCAPC) has extended the tender deadline to allow for changes to one of the technical specifications in the previously-issued tender. Accordingly, the tender, which was initially scheduled to close on 2 April, was first extended to 2 May. It has now been extended again, with the new closing date set for 24 June.
