Macedonia Tenders Hydropower PPP

26. 2. 2010

Macedonia's government is tendering for private concessionaires to design, build, operate and transfer 36 small hydro power plants in the Vardar, Strumica and Crn Drim river basins. The projects will have 20 megawatts of generating capacity.


Companies can bid for one or more locations, but each project will be awarded separately. The projects, which will have a 23-year concession, are valued at a total of EUR20m. The government will contribute no funding, but is agreeing to buy electricity for the duration of the concession. The preferred bidders are expected to be shortlisted by the end of July.
