Liberia: LEC seeks operator for Mount Coffee hydro plant

Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) has invited pre-qualification applications by June 19 for operation and maintenance of the Mount Coffee hydropower plant. The run-of-river station on the St Paul River is scheduled to return to full operation by the end of 2016, following extensive rehabilitation of the plant’s infrastructure as well as uprating of its installed capacity to 80MW from its nameplate capacity of 64MW. LEC has appointed a joint venture of Norway’s Norplan and Germany’s Fichtner as owner’s engineer for the project.
