A statement from the National Energy Board reads:
The electricity distribution company DELSUR has made public the financial bids offered by two companies who submitted documents for the tender for 355 megawatts (MW) of power and associated energy, namely: Asocio Quantum-GLU and AES Fonseca Energía, who on October 1 submitted the information required to participate in the tender for the supply of power for 20 years.
The bid submitted by Quantum-GLU was for a total of 338.4 MW at a price of $119.99/MW to be generated using natural gas. The second, filed by AES Energy Fonseca, totaled 170 MW at a price of $135.03/MW, to be generated using coal. The ceiling price established by the Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications (SIGET) for this contract was $164.50/MW .

AES Fonseca Energía LTO de CV and Asocio Quantum-GLU submitted their technical and financial bids in the tender organized by Del Sur.
"The technical bids will immediately be reviewed by the evaluation committee of the distributors, advised by a group of prestigious local consultants who will look at the legal issues, especially technical and financial ones," said the general manager of the Del Sur, Roberto Gonzalez.
The tender for the purchase of 350MW for 15 years has to be repeated after having been declared void on the first occasion, and for the fourth time there will be a competition for the provision of 70MW for 5 years.
The Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications (SIGET) must provide new tender condition documents, dealing with the main obstacle in previous contests, limiting bids to suppliers of electricity generated by renewable resources, exclusively gas or coal.
The process was unable to be completed after the withdrawal of offers from firms with capacity to generate electricity required.
The company DelSur on Monday declared void the tender for the generation of 350 MW, equivalent to one third of the El Salvador’s national demand, which it had planned to contract out for 15 years from 2016.
The Superintendency of Electricity has postponed until April 18, 2012 the date for receiving bids for the long term supply of 350MW.
The distributor DelSur, organizer of the process, requested the extension from the refulator on Nov. 28. The request for extra time comes from four companies participating in the process, AES Fonseca Energía y EMC El Salvador, known as the Honduran Terra Group.
