Atomstroiexport, SNC-Lavalin International and a Paris-based joint venture between France's Areva and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan all submitted financial offers Monday for a planned nuclear reactor in Jordan, Petra said.
The winner of the tender will be selected in December, the official news agency reported. The three bidders had presented technical offers on June 30.
Jordan, which imports almost all of its energy, has said it wants to attract investments of $14 billion for renewable energy, oil shale and nuclear power. The kingdom plans to build at least one nuclear reactor by 2019 and has signed nuclear cooperation agreements with about a dozen countries.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
