2008-07-02
Toyota Tsusho Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Toyota Tsusho"; Headquarters: Nagoya City; President: Junzo Shimizu) with Toshiba Plant Systems & Services Corporation (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo; President: Tetsuo Ishii) jointly received simultaneous orders for incidental facilities intended for the 750 MW gas combined cycle power plant at El Atf from Middle Delta Electricity Production Company (MDEPC) as well as for incidental facilities intended for the 750 MW gas combined cycle power plant at Sidi Krir, from West Delta Electricity Production Company (WDEPC), with each order containing a mechanical and electrical facility at each of these power plants, making a total of four facilities. The contract for these orders was signed on July 1. The contract amount is approximately JPY 7 billion for El Atf and approximately JPY 6 billion for Sidi Krir, with a total of about JPY 13 billion.
This project is referred to as "Balance of Plant" (BOP), intended to supply and provide installation work for mechanical facilities (pumps, emergency generators, piping facilities, etc.) and electrical facilities (direct current power generators, cabling facilities, etc.) incidental to the relevant power plants. The contract was signed at a conference room of the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Energy, and witnessed by the Minister of Electricity and Energy. Construction is scheduled to start on the site in November 2008 with operations to commence in August 2010. Furthermore, the construction order for gas turbine power generators for the relevant power plants was received jointly by Toyota Tsusho and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Hideaki Omiya) in September 2007.
Demand for electric power is expected to grow at a rate of seven to eight percent annually in Egypt, against a backdrop of steady economic growth. These additional power plants are built to respond to an increasing demand for electric power in Egypt. We intend to continue our participation in bids for electric power plant projects and contribute towards the economic development of Egypt through the provision of electric power plant facilities.
