Four firms eye waste energy plant in Cebu
FOUR companies yesterday signified their interest to bid for a waste to energy facility in the province but one of them failed to qualify, a Capitol official said yesterday.
Sinova Capital and MGT Power Ltd. managed to pitch their technical presentation while Fortune asked for a one-week extension to submit their proposal before the scheduled bidding.
Quantum International pulled out from the technical presentation.
Capitol consultant Jose Maria Gastardo told Cebu Daily News that Quantum was “not in conformity with the build, operate and transfer agreement” of the project.
Sinova Capital formerly visited the Capitol in April and proposed its waste to energy facility through an integrated solid waste management solution.
MGT presented its specialization in cool plasma technology.
The bidding is scheduled next week during which Sinova, MGT and Fortune are expected to present their technical and financial proposal.
Gastardo said the Capitol is considering to set up its waste to energy facility in its Balili lot in barangay Tina-an, Naga City.
Another site is a province-owned lot in Carmen town, northern Cebu.
Last April, Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia said she will use some province-owned lots to set up their waste to energy facility. Correspondent Carmel Loise Matus
