See Appendix A for a more detailed project description.

We are seeking highly qualified contractors to undertake the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) requirements for the High Voltage/Alternating Current (HV/AC)-side of the Project. The selected contractors will play a pivotal role in ensuring the successful deployment and operation of this significant endeavor.
