El Salvador to issue 100 MW renewable energy RfP in September

26.07.2013: El Salvador’s National Energy Council (CNE) will issue a Request for Proposals (RfP) for the installation of 100 MW of wind and solar power plants in September, according to local newspaper El Mundo. The German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) will assist CNE to develop the bidding process for the RfP. In May 2012, El Salvador approved new regulations aimed at encouraging the deployment of renewable energy generation projects up to 20 MW in size. The RfP is one element of this new strategy. Currently, there is just one utility-scale PV project under development in El Salvador. In February, Salvadorian public energy company Lempa River Executive Hydroelectric Commission (CEL) published an RfP for the construction of a 14.2 MW PV power plant. The project, due to be located on land owned by CEL, is expected to be completed in mid-2014. The project requires a total investment of $50 million, about $20 million of which will be covered by a loan from German government-owned development bank KFW. CEL, Banco de Desarrollo (BANDESAL) and the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE) will provide the remaining funding. Additionally, in late April, CNE issued a call for tenders for renewable energy power supply contracts totaling 15 MW. CNE and its partners are seeking 6 MW of PV power, 4 MW of small hydropower, 4 MW of biogas and 1 MW of residential distributed systems that generate power for self-consumption. Supply contracts will be valid for 15 years. © PHOTON
