Neom’s energy, water and hydrogen subsidiary Enowa has requested that the final bidders submit updated proposals for a contract to build a 1,200MW wind farm catering to the gigaproject in Saudi Arabia. This development follows the introduction of an addendum to the tender after companies submitted their best and final offers (bafos) for the contract to build the 1,200MW Gayal wind farm project in June. On 9 July that Neom was progressing towards awarding the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to the selected bidder following receipt of the bafos. Enowa received the initial bids for the contract on 4 March. It is understood that PowerChina and Egyptian contractor Orascom are among the firms invited to bid for the Gayal wind farm EPC contract. The wind farm project site is approximately 35 kilometres northwest of the former town of Gayal. The project will have an estimated plot area of 164 square kilometres. The project duration is 31 months from the start of construction. The scope of work for the EPC contractors bidding for the scheme includes the design, supply and installation of wind turbine generators and foundations, three 380kV substations and control systems, meteorological towers, site roads, hard stands, crane pads and associated infrastructure. Enowa received bids for another renewable energy project, the 800MW Shiqri solar farm, in March. The client is conducting commercial clarifications for the solar project. Neom aims to be powered 100% by renewable energy by 2030.     For registration as a supplier: https://www.neom.com/en-us/our-business/suppliers   (ICE RIYADH)
