Nigeria: RusHydro prepares tenders for Kainji Power rehabilitation

Tenders are set to be launched for the rehabilitation of the Kainji and Jebba hydropower plants on the Niger River after the concessionaire, Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited, approved a capacity recovery plan prepared by RusHydro International. RusHydro confirmed to African Energy on 4 September that the Mainstream board had approved the plan in August and that the next step for the Russian engineering group would be to help the concession-holder to prepare tender documentation and start procurement for equipment, civil works and assembly services.
