The contest announced for the first quarter for the supply of 100 MW of clean energy has been canceled until the need for the recruitment has been defined.
Due to the fact that studies are still being conducted to determine the technical feasibility of the purchase of power generated exclusively from renewable resources and that there is currently a tender underway for traditional energy, the Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications has decided to suspend it until there is a clearer diagnosis of the energy needs.
An announcement has been made that the bidding rules for the tender for managing the porting process will be presented in the coming months.
The Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications confirmed with Elsalvador.com that "... the tender committee will be in charge of portability, which in turn will be integrated after the Portability Regulation has been officially presented, now that it has been completed."
The Superintendency of Competition has asked to review the process of not limiting the participation of companies.
From a press release bythe Superintendency of Competition (SC):
The Board (CD) of the Competition Superintendence (SC) has issued an opinion on the bidding process for the supply of 300 MW of firm capacity and associated energy. The Superintendent noted that the tender conditions contain some measures that could limit the number of potentially interested parties in participating in the bidding process.
There will be a batch of 40 MW generated by wind power and the remaining 60 MW through solar generation.
From a press release from the Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications (SIGET):
The electricity distribution companies through DELSUR, the Superintendency of Electricity and Telecommunications (SIGET) and the National Energy Council (CNE) announced the launch of a new bidding process aimed at electricity generation projects of 100 MW, based on non-conventional renewable resources and exclusive participation in the wholesale market.
On Monday March 19th bids will be opened for the tender for the procurement of 350MW, equivalent to one third of domestic consumption, for a period of 15 years.
The contract is being administered by the distributor DelSur, which belongs to the Colombian company EPM, but the energy will be acquired by this distributor as well as the distributors AES El Salvador: CAESS, EEO, CLESA, and DEUSEM.
