Transelectric, the transmission unit of Ecuador’s state power holding company Celec, has relaunched a call to design the 500 kV project under an IDB-financed program to shore up the national grid.
The work will cover the following proposed infrastructure: new 500 kV lines Chorrillos-Pasaje (211 km) and Pasaje-Frontera (74 km); the sectioning (1.8 km) of the 230 kV Minas San Francisco La Unión-San Idelfonso line; the expansion of the 500 kV Chorrillos substation; and the new 500 / 230 kV Pasaje substation.
Expressions of interest for the $3 M, 300-day consultancy contract are due by October 18.
