CUC is preparing to submit a proposal in response to a forthcoming Request for Proposal (RFP) for the development of a new thermal power plant in Grand Cayman, with an expected capacity of approximately 36.5 MW. CUC intends to contract MAN to deliver fully wrapped EPC services for the plant. There is some uncertainty regarding the final capacity that will be requested in the RFP – it may call for either a 36 MW or a 90 MW plant. However, certain parameters relevant to the plant’s conceptual design are expected to remain unchanged regardless of the final capacity. K&M will support CUC with the pre-RFP phase by reviewing the conceptual design developed by MAN, with a particular focus on engine performance (capacity and heat rate), interface definitions, and the completeness of the BOP scope.

K&M’s scope includes conducting site visits for meetings between CUC and MAN, reviewing the MAN proposal to identify gaps in the scope, description of interfaces, accuracy in performance estimates, and any other items presenting a technical or commercial risk to CUC, analyzing plant performance, including reviewing proposed MAN engine performance at site conditions and auxiliary power consumption to estimate net output and net heat rate curves, and validating inputs for the technical section of the proposal.
