El Salvador: Tender for 150 MW of Renewable Energy

18 Aug 2015

It has been announced that by the end of the year the specifications to tender the supply of 150 MW in renewable energy will be ready.
From a statement issued by the Agency for Export and Investment Promotion of El Salvador (PROESA):

The Export and Investment Promotion Agency of El Salvador (PROESA) chaired the announcement by the National Energy Council (CNE) that a new bidding process will be started for the procurement of 150 Megawatts (MW) of power focusing on projects based on unconventional renewable sources and exclusive participation in the wholesale market.

The move came after learning the results of a specialized study which determined the maximum capacities of wind power (wind) and solar photovoltaics that can be included in the energy matrix ensuring operational safety of the network, in response to the strategies embodied in the National Energy Policy driven by the CNE and the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
