    28 November 2012, Sweetcrude, Abuja – In line with the payment mechanism for the privatisation of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, successor generation and distribution companies, the Bureau of Public Enterprises, BPE, confirmed it has received bank guarantees of over $335.85million from the preferred bidders for the companies.

    In a statement last week, the Bureau said the National Council on Privatisation, NCP, had approved the payment mechanism for the PHCN successor generation companies, Gencos, and successor distribution companies, Discos, at its sixth meeting for 2012, on October 29, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

    It explained that the process involved the submission by the preferred bidders of additional bid security in the form of a letter of credit or bank guarantee for 15 percent of the transaction value to the BPE.

    The preferred bidders were required within 15 business days of notification from the BPE, to submit a “Preferred Bidder’s Bank Guarantee.” The deadline for receipt of the bank guarantee was Friday, November 23.

    The preferred bidders for the Discos submitted bank guarantees worth about $188.48million, while the preferred bidders for the Gencos submitted bank guarantees of about $147.38million.

    The breakdown of the guarantees are as follows:
    DISCOs
    Abuja Disco: Kann Consortium Utility Company Ltd – $24,600,000.00; Benin Disco: Vigeo Power Consortium—$19,350,000.00; Eko Disco: West Power and Gas—$20,250,000.00;
