NREA to receive offers for 50 MW Zaafarana solar plant on 25 July

The New and Renewables Energy Authority (NREA) will receive on 25 July financial offers from three international bidders in its tender to construct a 50 MW solar plant in Zaafarana, sources from the authority told the press. The bidders are India’s Vikram Solar, Germany’s B Electric, and China’s NARI Group. NREA is expected to announce the winning bid before the end of the year. Australia-based TCK Solar and Spain-based Elecnor were among those qualified for the tender. Both have since been excluded, one for walking away and the other for “technical reasons,” the sources added.
