Background
Ecuadorian government plans have called for development of a 400 MW combined cycle gas-fired power station in Santa Elena or Guayas province since 2018.[11] In October 2020, the government announced a tender to solicit bids for construction of the project.[12] As of April 2022, the government was still seeking expressions of interest in the project from domestic and international investors.[13][14][15] In May 2022, the Ecuadorian government announced that three companies - from Spain, Finland and the United States - had pre-qualified for a second round of bidding. Each company was expected to submit detailed technical and financial proposals for the plant's construction by November 24, 2022, with the Ecuadorian government scheduled to choose a winning bid on February 15, 2023.[16] As of April 2023, consideration of bids was still underway, according to a presentation by Roberto Salas, Ecuador's Secretary of Public-Private Investment.[17]
As of August 14, 2023, according to an article published by the Ecuadorian news outlet Primicias, the bidding for the combined cycle block project was ultimately declared void because, "according to the Minster of Energy, Fernando Santos, the increase in country risk during 2023 scared away potential interested parties."[18] The same article also pointed out that "the future of the project is now uncertain" since preparing a bidding process like this one takes time, so the project is considered to be shelved as of August 2023.[18]
