On October 25th, we received an official letter from the Management Regulatory Agency (WMRA) of Egypt. WMRA is a division of the Egyptian Ministry of Environment. The letters confirm that the WTEI consortium has been prequalified as a company to develop a waste-to-energy plant in Egypt.
Previously, in April 2020, WMRA issued a Request for Expression of Interest (EOI) for waste-to-energy projects. That is why GTE, OAK, and Waste to Energy International (WTEI) created a consortium for the project. Together with our partners, the WTEI team worked on the EOI for 2 months. Following this, in June, along with 92 other companies, the consortium submitted a 200-page Expression of Interest (EOI) to WMRA.
In short, these 92 companies have submitted their Expression of Interest (EOI) and the prequalification documents to the following services:
- Waste to Energy relying on:
- Municipal Solid Waste (MSW);
- Sludge Treatment for Waste Water Treatment Facilities;
- Biogas of the Sanitary Landfilling.
- Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) of MSW focusing on:
- Production of the Refused Derived Fuel (RDF);
- Making of the Compost;
- Production of other products such as biofuel, charcoal, etc.
Accordingly, the 92 companies have submitted to either a single treatment service or multiple treatment services. Our consortium focused on waste-to-energy services.
From a total of 92 companies, 88 were Egyptian and 48 were foreign. To summarize, they offered a total of 155 services. As a result, 53 companies offering 107 services are prequalified.
Companies prequalified along with the WTEI consortium
In MSW to energy sector, where WTEI consortium is prequalified, 19 Egyptian and 25 abroad companies are prequalified, also. Indeed, there are well-known market leaders as Power China, Suez, CNEEC, CMEC, CNTIC, GS Engineering & Construction Corp., and Be’ah Emirates Waste to Energy.
Power China (revenue $60 billion) is a global leader in the field of clean and low-carbon energy, water resources, and environmental construction.
Suez (revenue: $20 billion) is an expert in water and waste management, with 160 years of experience, operating on five continents.
China National Electric Engineering Co. (CNEEC, with revenue of $14 billion) is primarily engaged in EPC contracting, complete equipment supply, and engineering design in the fields of thermal power, hydroelectric power, clean energy, and other industrial projects.
China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC, with revenue of $4 billion) provides comprehensive plant solutions, encompassing preliminary planning, EPC, financing, and operation and maintenance.
China National Technical Imp. & Exp. Corp. (CNTIC, revenue $400 million) is a large-scale state-owned enterprise with main businesses in international project contracting, international production capacity cooperation and development, and trade and integration services.
GS Engineering & Construction Corp. (South Korea, revenue: $85 million) is recognized as one of the world’s leaders in the plant EPC business, creating refineries, gas, petrochemical, waste, and water treatment plants.
Be’ah Emirates Waste to Energy (UAE, revenue: $40 million) is the Middle East’s leading and award-winning, fully integrated environmental company.
To sum up, the successful prequalification of the consortium created by GTE, OAK, and Waste to Energy International demonstrates our international leadership in the waste-to-energy sector.
