1.1 General
An affiliate of HNG Capital Sdn. Bhd. (“HNGC”) had in July 2016 been invited to
propose and negotiate a long term Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with the Ministry
of Mines and Energy (“MME”) of the Kingdom of Cambodia and Electricite du
Cambodge (“EDC”) to develop a coal fired power plant in Sihanoukville. The project is
to be situated within the premises of the existing Cambodian Energy Limited (“CEL”)
2nos. x 50MW coal fired power plant. The net capacity of this project will be a one unit
of approximately 135 MW and the concession PPA will have a tenure of thirty (30) years
from the Commercial Operation Date.
It had recently been principally agreed that the above PPA would be signed by a special
purpose project company formed to develop the coal fired power plant. As such, HNGC
intends that a new company called Cambodian Energy II Company Limited (“CEL2” or
the “Employer”) will undertake the development of this 135MW project.
The objective of CEL2 is therefore to (i) develop a coal fired power plant with
approximately 135 MW net power output with an intended configuration of one (1) Unit
(the “Power Plant”), (ii) place a turnkey EPC contract with a qualified contractor and (iii)
own and operate the Power Plant for a period of thirty (30) years from the Commercial
Operation Date that must be achieved within first half of 2019.
To meet these requirements the Employer intends to place a turnkey fixed lump sum price
EPC contract with the successful Bidder for the engineering design, procurement
construction, commissioning and testing of a single nominally 135MW (net) coal fired
generating unit.
The successful Bidder shall have a proven record of successfully implementing EPC
contracts for coal fired power plant with at least five coal fired power plant projects
implemented over the past 10 years.
The concept of the project is to develop a coal fired power plant with a gross power
output of 150 MW (a net capacity of between 130 and 140 MW). The plant design shall
be based on a reheat cycle. The boiler and turbine proposed shall be of a well proven
design with a demonstrated reference list of at least 10 years of international projects with
similar operating conditions utilizing a reheat cycle.
The unit shall have a single Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler. A CFB boiler has
been selected to fulfil the Cambodian regulatory requirements for stack emission limits
and to give the Employer more flexibility in the future fuel purchase.
Transmission connection will be by 230 kV double circuit transmission line to connect
the plant to the planned 230 kV Sihanoukville Terminal Substation owned by EDC,
located approximately 800 m south of the Power Plant. The Contractor shall also provide
this 230 kV Transmission Line and the necessary interconnection to the EDC substation.
Further information is contained in Chapter 8 of this document.
The plant shall be fully compliant with all applicable requirements of the Cambodian
Grid Code which is included as Appendix 1.
To assist the Contractor with the understanding of the interfaces with the existing power
plant the Employer has prepared a sketch layout for New Plant and Shared Facilities
which is included as Appendix 8.
The intent of this document is to describe in general terms the Employer’s basic
requirements for the supply of one 150MW coal fired generating unit. In response to this
document the Bidder shall provide technical details of his proposal including technical
and design data, codes and standards used for design of all major equipment, process flow
diagrams, single line diagrams, system descriptions plant operating and control
philosophy, layout drawings, schematic drawings to support the Proposal. The Technical
Data Sheets attached to the Employers Requirements shall be completed.
The Bidders Proposal shall include a Level 1 Milestone Schedule that indicates
compliance with the Employer’s schedule indicated in Chapter 1.1 above.
2. SITE DESCRIPTION
The Site for the power plant is located on the seashore about 4 km north of the Sokimex
oil terminal some 15 km north of Sihanoukville town and Sihanoukville seaport. The 230
kV Sihanoukville Terminal Substation is located ca. 800m south of the power plant
substation.
The Site is characterized by a small hill located in the northern corner of the project site,
reaching a maximum height of ca. 10m above mean sea level. The area south of that hill
is generally flat and gently sloping up towards the south.
Coal for the Power Plant is imported with the coal transported by Panamax and/or
Handymax-size sea vessels and being unloaded to barges. The coal is transshipped and
then barged to the power plant site location.
The Site is connected to a public road running from the Sihanoukville town and seaport to
the Sokimex oil terminal and further. This road is a paved road with one lane to each
direction. Between the road and the Site is a single-track meter gauge railway line, which
connects Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh. The coal jetty is located at the north-
northwestern tip of the site.
The Power Plant shall be located within the Employer’s site. The total main power plant
site area is approximately 20 ha.
While relevant benchmarks have been provided by the Employer, the Contractor will be
responsible for all setting out and the accuracy of setting out. The Contractor is free to
develop the layout to facilitate its safe and efficient operation and maintenance, including
the capability to remove and replace large components should this prove necessary.
The power plant site has been cleared and levelled as part of the construction of the
earlier 100 MW power plant project.
The Employer has conducted site investigation studies. Detailed topographic, bathymetric
and preliminary soil surveys have been completed and the results have been provided to
the Contractor. Additionally the detailed soil investigation results from the earlier 100
MW power plant project have also been provided to the Contractor. The results are
attached in Appendix 3 and 7 to these Employers Requirements. Furthermore sea current
measurements and basic sea water quality analysis has been performed. Results are as
well attached in said Appendix 3.
A geotechnical site investigation has been carried out comprising amongst others the
following main works:
15 on shore boreholes through the sedimentary cover and into the underlying
bedrock
5 offshore boreholes through the sedimentary cover and into the bedrock
From the preliminary investigation results, the general geological conditions of the area
around the project site can be described as follows:
Sandstone of Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous in age (upper sandstone) is the major rock in the
Sihanoukville area with minor glass sand and alluvium occurring in narrow strips along
the shore lines. Steep slope coast and sandstone cliffs are often noticed in southern parts
of the area.
The overburden is composed mostly of layers of sand and silty sand, with inter-bedded
clay layers of average thickness of approximately 0 - 30 m. The beach sands are
considered pure glass sand, characterised by very fine to medium grained; subangular to
rounded, loosely to moderately compacted. The deposits are composed mostly of quartz,
which is derived from the Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous sandstone along the shorelines as
well as the sea floor. In the sea, deposits are 5 to up to tens of meters thick.
As described above the project site is covered with soft overburden consisting of white to
grey, occasionally brown silty or clayey sands. The soft sediments overlay sandstone
bedrock which is varying in depth. Maximum overburden thickness has been found to be
around 28m in the central area of the project site reducing to 15 to 18m towards the
southern and eastern borders. Bedrock can be found in all boreholes. It occurs close to the
surface in the northern area of the small hill with exposed bare rock or only minimal
sediment cover less than 2m. The bedrock is generally only slightly fractured and
moderately to slightly weathered. Some highly weathered or decomposed claystone
layers exist.
The groundwater table was found around 1.5m below OGL at the time of the
investigation.
Off-shore boreholes revealed only thin sediment cover as far as 1km away from the
shoreline. Maximum sediment thickness found is around 3m. The underlying bedrock is
the same as found on-shore and shows only slight to moderate weathering, with some
highly weathered layers.
The climate in Cambodia is tropical and consists of a rainy season from May to October
and a dry season from November to April. The Site is located within the heaviest rainfall
area located along the southwest coastal line.
The following data is from the Sihanoukville meteorological station which is the station
closest to the Site.
Temperature averages 28.8° C with monthly maximum temperatures of 33.7° C and
monthly minimum temperatures of 24.5° C. The maximum temperature can reach about
40° C at the beginning of the rainy season / end of the dry season, while the minimum is
about 13 ° C. Average relative humidity is 81%.
In the rainy season from May to October, the wind direction is mainly west and
southwest. In the dry season from November to April, it is mainly north and south.
Average wind speed is approximately 3 to 6 m/s throughout the year. The maximum wind
speed measured during 1989-2006 has been 24 m/s.
During 1991-2000, Cambodia typically had 1-9 tropical cyclones per year, averaging 2-3.
These fall normally in the period from June to December.
Rainfall in Sihanoukville averages 3,200 mm/year with the highest monthly average
rainfall of 675 mm/month occurring in June. Yearly net evaporation is estimated at 400
mm.
Further details are provided in these Employer’s Requirements, Appendix 2, Climatic
Conditions.
2.3.3 Oceanography
The Employer has conducted oceanographic site studies including tidal and current
measurements and basic analysis of sea water. Preliminary results from this investigation
are presented in Appendix 3 to these Employers Requirements.
The following tide level information are obtained from the Sihanoukville sea port (15 km
south from the Site) and are assumed to be very similar to the conditions to be expected
around the power plant site.
Highest High Water Level (HHWL) MSL + 1.09 m
Mean High Water Level (MHWL) MSL + 0.29 m
Mean Sea Level (MSL) MSL + 0.00 m
Mean Low Water Level (MLWL) MSL – 0.25 m
Lowest Low Water Level (LLWL) MSL – 1.14 m
Chart Datum Level (CDL) MSL – 1.15 m
MSL is the Mean Sea Level in Sihanoukville.
Wind speeds above 15 m/s and wave heights above 2 m are reported to be rare.
The probable maximum wind speed and significant offshore deep sea wave height and
wave period from the west direction is provided in the following table.
The power plant shall be designed for seismic loads according to UBC97 Zone 1.
Cambodia is geographically isolated from sources of regional tectonism. The peak ground

and control valves are wide open. This figure shall be 105% TMCR
Boiler Maximum Continuous Rating (BMCR) is the maximum load at which the boiler
can operate. This figure shall be 105% VWO.
The Generator net output shall be the load in MW measured at the generator transformer
high voltage terminals.
The Generator gross output shall be the load in MW measured at the generator terminals
when the power factor is 0.85.
The plant design shall be optimized for maximum plant operating efficiency at TMCR
load. Steam conditions and number of turbine steam extractions should be based on this
requirement. The preference is for main steam conditions at the turbine inlet of 165 –
170 bar and 565 deg C.
The unit shall be capable of operating at any load between 100% boiler maximum
continuous rating and 40% turbine maximum continuous rating for extended periods

scheduled maintenance periods and forced outages of the Power Plant.
The Power Plant shall be designed to operate continuously for 24 hours per day
throughout the year with the power plant running at or near full load throughout the hours
of high power system demand and at reduced loads through periods of low demand. The
power plant shall be designed to be cycled between high and low load once per day safely
and efficiently and without exceeding permissible levels of stress within components.
The operating concept shall be based on a central control room with a modern control
system for all normal plant operations. Start-ups and shut downs can involve a limited
number of local operations of the plant if it is not safe or reasonably possible to achieve
them via automatic sequence control or remote control from the control room. Sufficient
controls, indications and alarms shall be provided local to specific sections of the plant
and auxiliary systems to permit control for testing, fault finding and maintenance
purposes.
