PPC
Renewables, the branch of Greek utility PPC, for the development of renewable
energy projects, announced yesterday three new tenders for the 50MW
photovoltaic project of
Megalopoli
.
The
previous tender had been abandoned
in 2012
and now,
PPC Renewables has decided to split it into three separate tenders, in order to
attract investors easier. The company has acquired a permit from the Greek
energy regulator that
provides
the PV project a high tariff, but
this will only last until October, 2013 and that is why no time can be lost in
the new tendering process.
The
three separate tenders are for the supply of the equipment, the construction
and the two substations of the project
. The separation of the tendering process is important because it allows
for the division of cost, which proved fatal for the first tender last year.
The
budget for the equipment tender is 47 mil. euros and will be covered by the concessionaire,
the budget for the construction is 19 mil. euros and for the two substations is
4,5 mil. euros and they will be covered by PPC Renewables. The deadline for
proposals submission is the 20th of March.
