Lithuania - Transfer-Back Inspection of Heating Installations in Vilnius
The project is part of a transfer-back of heating installations in the framework of a leasing procedure. It aims at establishing the technical conditions of the leased facilities which were used for district heating in Vilnius city.
These facilities include inter alia:
- Steam and water heating boilers, including fuel system, pressure vessels, pipelines, turbines, preparation and supply system for chemically treated and feed water, condensate collection systems, pressurised air systems, flue gas treatment and ash removal systems, consumer heat meters, etc.
- Electricity generators and transformers, including distribution equipment, electric motors, etc.
- Infrastructure equipment: lifting equipment, railway infrastructure, heat supply networks, etc.
- Real estate (building and engineering structures)
- Information and telecommunication systems and data (software, hardware, etc.)
intec's services
Establishment of the technical condition by means of:
- Visual inspection of facilities
- Inspection of facilities in operation and tests of system functioning
- Identification of maintenance and repair works carried out during the last 5 years
Drawing-up of a report on that condition.

Mongolia - Thermal Power Plant #4, Ulaanbaatar (Consulting Services for Modernization and Rehabilitation)
The project encompasses the modernisation and rehabilitation of the Russian design coal-fired Thermal Power Plant # 4 in Ulaanbaatar which is the largest power plant in Mongolia, supplying electricity and heat to more than one third of the Mongolian population, i.e. approx. 1.1 million people. It generates more than 70% of the electricity for the central energy system. The plant consists of eight coal-fired boilers of 480 t/h which feed six turbines (1 x 80 and 5 x 100 MW). Steam is extracted for district heating and industrial use. The plant runs on middle-grade lignite from the Bangannur and Shivee-Ovoo mines. Project measures should achieve an increase of available capacity by 11.7 MW, a decrease of specific coal consumption and a reduction of the CO2 emissions.

Palestine - Solar PV for the North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment Plant
The Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) commissioned Phase 1 of the "North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment (NGEST) Project", which requires a total of 12 MW of electric power under full operation conditions. Several potential sources of power supply for the NGEST had been considered, but all of them were discounted for various reasons.
The present study, commissioned by the World Bank in collaboration with PWA and the Palestinian Energy and Natural Resource Authority (PENRA), assessed the feasibility of supplying NGEST with electricity generated from solar power sources.

Assessment of life-cycle electrical load of the NGEST plant (max. 12 MW at full operation)
List and review options for power supply to NGEST (on-site diesel generation, additional power supply from Israel through a dedicated feeder, additional supply through expansion of the GPP's capacity - practicability, risks and assessment of levelized costs)
Assessment of the feasibility of solar PV power generation to meet at least part of NGEST's demand, i.e.
- resource availability - collection and interpretation of available data
- back-up power supply / batteries
- local infrastructure issues
- conceptual design and detailed costing
- preliminary environmental and social impact assessment
- economic and financial analysis
- development of an EPC contract format and determination of operation and maintenance requirements
- assessment of the potential impact of the local political environment on the project.
