Bridging the Gaps

Brazil's A-3 power tender has been scheduled to take place on 25 October this year, the country’s Energy and Mining Ministry said today. 

Wind and solar are among the sources eligible to take part in the process – alongside large- and small-hydro projects, and gas-fired and biomass plants.

It is unclear whether the generation sources will compete with each other or be separated into individual contests.

This will be the first time that solar projects will compete in a national public tender. Only projects of more than 5MW are allowed to participate.

The winning projects will need to start delivering their output by 1 January 2016. That means developers will have 26 months to build their plants.
