| Summary |
The proposed project involves heat transmission for a long distance with associated losses and pumping costs. The waste heat from a nuclear power plant has a very low cost as compared to costs of fossil fuels. To support an initial decision to commence preparation of this project, we require a Pre-Feasibility Study to be carried out, which will provide necessary initial information to substantiate the decision to carrying out further preparation of the Project.
The overall objective of the pre-feasibility study is to look into economic efficiency of the Project, identify key risk and areas for future due diligence with a full feasibility study.
The key specific objectives of this pre-feasibility study are:
- Review the costs and benefits of the investment and compare with possible alternatives to determine economic potential of the Project;
- Identify issues relating to the Project, which will require further due diligence at the full feasibility study phase, if it is decided that the Project goes ahead.
These issues would include at least: (1) land allocation, zoning, other planning arrangements; (2) general technical viability of the passage of pipelines; (3) potential regulatory approach impacting pricing of heat; (4) Identify structuring options such as SPV and other potential options; and
- Preparation of a TOR and a budget for full feasibility study (including the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment if necessary).
Maximum Budget Available for the Assignment: EUR 100,000; exclusive of VAT.
