In El Salvador, the competition rules are being prepared to design and build a plant that will generate energy from solid waste and wastewater, which will be located on the Acelhuate River.
The project of the new plant, which will have an installed capacity of 5.2 MW and whose investment will amount to $32 million, was announced by the presidency of the Executive Hydroelectric Commission of the Lempa River (CEL).
Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Haina awarded Elecnor the contract to build the Girasol solar park, which will be located in the municipality of Yaguate, Dominican Republic.
The project will be built on a 220-hectare site, where solar irradiation is higher than the average in the Dominican Republic, and will include the installation of approximately 300,000 photovoltaic modules, a 150 megavolt ampere (MVA) substation and a 10-kilometre long 138 kilovolt (kv) transmission line, according to an official statement.
AES Panama announced that during 2020 it will invest in the construction of four photovoltaic parks, which will have an installed capacity of 10 MW each.
The development of the parks that will be located in the provinces of Herrera, Los Santos and Chiriqui, will be in charge of Elecnor S.A., the company to which AES Panama awarded the construction contracts.
Mainly determined by the performance of the energy supply from thermal sources, between January and November 2018 and the same period in 2019, electricity generation in Panama grew by 3%.
According to the most recent report of the General Comptroller of Panama, 10,173 million kWh were generated in the first eleven months of 2019, which is equivalent to a 3% increase over the 9,877 million kWh offered in the same period in 2018.
The Salvadoran government is preparing to begin the tender process in 2020 to build a new photovoltaic plant in Usulután, which will have a capacity of 20 MW and will require an investment of approximately $19 million.
The project of the new solar power plant is contemplated in the General Budget of the Nation of 2020, therefore, if approved by the Legislative Assembly, the Executive Hydroelectric Commission of the Lempa River (CEL) will initiate the public tender next year.
The plant was inaugurated on 29 October and forms part of the Bosphorus project, which consists of the commissioning of 10 power generation parks of 10 MW each.
Road maintenance for $258 million, construction of an overpass for $58 million and the development of an energy park for $19 million, are some of the investments included in the 2020 National General Budget project.
Regarding the general amount of public investment included in the Fodes de las Alcaldías, the project discussed in the Assembly contemplates that by 2020 it would reach $1.243 million, an amount that would be 23% higher than that approved for 2019.
Between January and August 2018 and the same period in 2019, electricity generation from hydraulic sources in Panama decreased by 40%.
According to the latest report of the General Comptroller's Office of Panama, in the first eight months of 2019 7,436 million kWh were generated, which is equivalent to a 3.3% increase over the 7,200 million offered in the same period of 2018.
From January to June 2019, 52 environmental impact studies were presented to carry out works on electricity networks and build power generation plants in different areas of Central American countries.
The interactive platform "Construction in Central America", compiled by the Business Intelligence Unit at CentralAmericaData, includes an up to date list of public and private constructionprojects for which environmental impact studies (EIA) were submitted to the respective institutions of each country.
In the Dominican Republic, the design and construction of a photovoltaic solar park with an installed capacity of 3 MW, to be located in the community of Barrero, is being tendered.
In Guatemala, the General Comptroller's Office recommended definitively suspending the tender to supply photovoltaic solar energy, because the audit detected weaknesses in the contracting process.
Partly determined by the behavior of the energy supply from thermal sources, between January and July 2018 and the same period in 2019 the electricity generation in Panama grew 4%.
According to the latest report of the General Comptroller of Panama, in the first seven months of 2019 were generated 6,503 million kwh, which is equivalent to a 3.6% increase over the 6,503 million offered in the same period of 2018.
Because both participating companies did not comply with the specifications, in Guatemala the bidders were disqualified in the photovoltaic solar energy tender.
Total Eren Guatemala, S.A. and Corporación Klondike, S.A. presented their bids in the tender for the supply of electricity generated by photovoltaic solar systems, up to a maximum of 110 MW under the BOT modality.
Because of the complaints filed in the tender to supply photovoltaic solar energy, the Public Ministry of Guatemala conducted legal proceedings in the headquarters of the Inde, which could affect the continuity of the process.
