Bidding for the installation of solar panels at the Cerron Grande and 15 de Setiembre dams will take place in February.
Luis Garcia, manager of the renewable energy department of the Executive Hydroelectric Commission of Río Lempa (CEL), said that with the installation of the panels on the two hydroelectric power plants approximately 0.5 MW will be generated. He added that this will be the starting point for developing solar energy projects.
"By 2011, studies are planned to determine the technical feasibility, economic and financial health of a solar power plant of 3 MW with grid connection," reports the article in Laprensagrafica.com.
