The consortium Quantum-GLU would be the winner of a long-term contract to supply 335 MW generated from a power plant that would be built by the company.
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 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.
