The result of the evaluation of credentials will be notified on September 8, and bids will be received until the 28th of that month.

The new call for tenders, as the previous one, is conducted by the electricity distribution companies, coordinated by the CDEEE and supervised by the Electricity Superintendence (SIE), as General Electricity Law 125-01 stipulates, as amended by Law 186-07.

In a statement to be published today and tomorrow, the conditions and deadlines for the “Remanente de Potencia Licitación CDEEE-LPI-001-2016” are established, and invites interested parties to download the instructional for the registration document in its website.
