On August 19, 2024, Germany announced a significant tender for the construction works related to power plants and heating plants, titled “Moabit Kohleausstieg (MoKA) & Reuter Gas Heat (RGH) – Los 1: EPC Light”.
The deadline for submissions is set for November 30, 2024. This tender, initiated by the German government, is a pivotal step towards advancing the hydrogen industry by transitioning from coal to cleaner energy sources.
The primary objective of this tender is to solicit bids for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services to develop hydrogen-powered plants as part of Germany’s broader strategy to decarbonize its energy sector. The Moabit Kohleausstieg project aims to phase out coal usage, while the Reuter Gas Heat initiative focuses on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of gas heating systems using hydrogen.
The tender seeks companies capable of delivering comprehensive design, procurement of materials, and construction services for these advanced energy projects. Bidders are expected to provide innovative solutions that ensure high efficiency and environmental compliance. This includes incorporating cutting-edge technology to maximize hydrogen utilization and minimize carbon emissions.
Technical requirements for this tender underscore the importance of sustainability and technological innovation. Interested contractors must demonstrate expertise in hydrogen energy systems, infrastructure for hydrogen supply chains, and integration of renewable energy sources. Additionally, contractors should emphasize safety protocols, given the volatile nature of hydrogen, and showcase prior experience in similar large-scale projects.
