The Bid Awarding Procedure Finishes for the Two Hydro Plants in Santa Cruz River

Following the high tension system arrival at Pico Truncado, now the construction of two hydroelectrical projects will be launched in Santa Cruz River -the most plentiful of the Austral Patagonia region. This is case of the Condor Cliff and Barrancosa Projects.


On the 19th February, Friday, the bids submitted from three consortiums (made up of ten top companies) will be opened. They have re formulated their original proposals in order to compete at the bidding for the construction of two hydro plants in San­ta Cruz river.

This calling out for bidding raised the interest of leading constructors who have undertaken significant hydroelectrical works in Philippines, Co­lom­bia, USA, Bra­zil and Ve­ne­zue­la.
The projects submitted for tender by the National Government for Santa Cruz river have a dramatic energetic and strategic impact on the Austral Patagonia region development.

Having a energetic policy in place since six years ago which put an end to Chubut and Santa Cruz provinces isolation for decades in relation to the National Interconnected System (NIS), the construction of these two hydro plants will aim at repeating in the Austral Patagonian region, the benefits of the 70’s in Comahue from the undertaking of a number of hydro plants such as El Cho­cón, Ce­rros Co­lo­ra­dos, Ali­cu­rá and Pie­dra del Águi­la.
