In El Salvador, 18 proposals were submitted for the tender of 28 MW of non-conventional renewable energy, of which 12 correspond to solar projects and 6 to biogas-based generation projects.
With no details of the participating companies, it was reported that the 18 technical and economic proposals were presented on December 19 in the morning to the DELSUR authorities. The next step is to evaluate that the offers comply with the aspects requested for them to be opened in March next year.
30 offers were presented for photovoltaic projects with capacity for 60 MW and two for wind power projects with capacity of 40 MW.
An article on Nacion.com reports that "... Of the 32 projects submitted by investors, two are wind projects, the remaining 30 are photovoltaic; however, Roberto González, DELSUR's manager, said that if the wind projects fail to meet the power target they have been assigned (40 MW) they will be supplemented with photovoltaic generation. "
The entity will fund up to 40% of the cost of the plants required by the tender held by Distribuidora Del Sur.
The generation of 359 MW of power needed to fulfil the long-term contract given Delsur cannot be achieved without expanding the production capacity with new plants.
