Bulgaria asks groups vying to build Belene nuke plant to improve offers Bulgaria's national power grid operator NEK has asked Czech tie-in Skoda Alliance and Russia's AtomStroyExport to sweeten their bids for the construction of the nuclear power plant (NPP) at Belene, on the Danube, Dnevnik learned from a source close to the project. According to the source, the two candidates have already improved the price and hand-over parameters of their bids. NEK reportedly asked the maximum construction timeframe to but reduced from 10 to 6 years. The commission in charge of the tender procedure motivated the request with forecasts that Bulgaria's power system will need the new capacity to be brought on stream no later then 2011-2012. NEK executive director Mardik Papazyan confirmed the information but refused to give further details. The candidates have received queries on the technical and commercial aspects of their offers, said an official from Parsons, the project consultant and engineer/architect. The duration of the construction works depends on the equipment supplier and the time it takes to put the project together, said AtomStroyExport spokesperson Irina Esipova. Skoda Alliance has cut from 10 to 6 years the hand-over timeframe for the first reactor and from 10 to 8 years the timeframe for the second reactor, said project head Roman Zdebor. Parsons will prepare a report on the state of the project reflecting the impact that the adjusted hand-over deadlines will have on the undertaking and its cost. Bulgaria decided last year to complete the Belene project, hiring a vendor to install two 1000MW VVER reactors and make the best use of the hardware delivered to the Belene site before the project was put on hold in the early 1990s.
