El Salvador: Renewed Tender for Energy

The bids submitted exceeded the maximum price, and 69.9 megawatts still remain to be awarded.

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

For the second time the full concession of 100 megawatts has not been awarded, an amount that is needed for the generation of more than 11% of El Salvador’s energy over the next two years.

The Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications (SIGET) will have to create a new tender for the missing amount, equivalent to 69.9 megawatts.

An article in Laprensagrafica.com states: "Hilcasa and Textufil, both thermal generators, were awarded 30.1 megawatts. Two companies, Duke and Nejapa Power joined together, but bids from both generators exceeded the maximum price set by the SIGET. "

Distributors have under contract only 60% of demand, forcing them to buy at expensive spot prices.
