| Energy Ministry to open bidding for power buy in Apr
Energy ministry will open bidding for purchasing electricity from private power producers in April as scheduled, Minister Piyasvasti Amranand said Wednesday.
Invitations to IPPs (independent power producers) will be issued late this month. The selection process will be by the next government, Piyasvasti said.
Bids must be submitted by October, with the selection of winners set for April 2008 and the finalisation of a power purchase agreement in October that year, Piyasvasti said.
According to Piyasvasti, the government plans to buy 3,000-4,000 megawatts from private producers for adding new power generation capacity during 2011-2013. This will boost the country's current total installed capacity of 27,789 MW.
