Honduras launches tender for a battery energy storage system
The National Electric Power Company (ENEE) announced a bid for installing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to enhance energy supply stability, particularly for challenges anticipated in summer 2024 and the projected demand increase for 2025.
This 75 MW/300 MWh system will be installed at the Amarateca substation, located in central Honduras, to mitigate supply issues during peak demand periods. The tender invites national and international companies to submit sealed bids for the study, design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of the system.
Batteries would be a useful tool to counteract climate change, as they facilitate a more flexible use of energy that allows it to adapt to dips and peaks in demand and supply.
Tender details:
- Financing: Exclusively with national funds.
- Procedure: International Public Tender, in accordance with the State Contracting Law and its Regulations.
- Maintenance Guarantee: No less than 2% of the total bid amount, presented in U.S. dollars.
- Contract Duration: 8 months, starting from the order to proceed.
This project is a significant step towards strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure, ensuring greater stability, and improving response capacity to grid fluctuations.
Bid submission deadline: October 23rd, 2024.
