Honduras: Third Tender to Repair Hydro Station Announced

After two failed attempts, the National Electric Power Company (Empresa Nacional De Energía Eléctrica) will launch a tender to repair cracks in the El Cajon hydroelectric station.

Thursday, March 27, 2014

This new competition will be international because there aren't any companies in the country with sufficient experience to perform the repair work with responsibility, as required by law.

Emil Hawit, Manager of the National Electricity Company (ENEE), "said the cracks in the "El Cajon" facility do not affect power generation and what will be carried out is only prevention work for which two international public tenders have been held that could not be awarded because of the requirements in the Law on Government Procurements."

"The manager of the Enee said a third international private tender has been launched that could culminate in April, for the award for the repair of cracks in the dam in the next two years."
