Overall, 31 project proposals were submitted to ETESA for the auction. According to local newspaper La Estrella, the lowest bid was submitted by FRV Solar Panamá S. de RL, which offered a price of $0.09 per kWh, while the most expensive project was submitted by Panama Solar Energy Providers Inc., which offered a price of $0.14 per kWh. ETESA will announce the bid winners within 2 to 3 weeks, the article reports. PV projects selected through the auction will have to begin delivering electricity to the grid by Jan. 1, 2017. Local energy providers Gas Natural Fenosa (Eléctrica Chiriquí y Eléctrica Metro Oeste) and ENSA (Elektra Noreste) will buy the electricity output from the PV plants under 20-year PPAs. © PHOTON
