Spaces Opened up for Private Electricity Generators

In view of the lack of future of the bill to modernize the electricity market in Costa Rica, a tender is being prepared for the supply of 200 MW under the current law.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

The state-owned Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE), the giant of the national electricity market, still has the option of opening electricity generation projects that would produce about 196.1 MW in total, the government said.

"The Institute is preparing a tender for the 200 MW that can be drawn up under the framework of Law 7200. These projects are small and we estimate that some may start in 2012 ", said Luis Liberman, Vice President, in an article in ElFinancierocr.com.

New Tenders for Energy in Guatemala

March 2012

The National Energy Commission (CNEE) has issued new tenders for energy supply, which will take place in April.
