The National Electric Energy Commission approved Addendum No. 4 to the Bidding Rules of Open Tender PEG-5-2025, introducing specific adjustments that directly impact bid structuring, participation credentials, transmission risk allocation, and key economic parameters. This update redefines relevant aspects of the competitive process and requires bidders to ensure consistency with the new applicable rules.Â
- Participation: The adjustments establish that no legal entity or generation plant may be part of more than one Bid, whether individually or as part of a consortium.Â
- Transmission Risk: For New Plants or Operating Plants with additional investments, the Technical Bid must include a sworn statement confirming that the bidder has evaluated the transmission capacity at the connection point and that, if necessary, they will carry out the investments to ensure power evacuation. Distributors are exonerated from transmission or operational restrictions.Â
- Fuels: The addendum updates the reference values (Fo) for bunker, coal, petroleum coke, natural gas, and propane. It also specifies integrated import and transportation costs for coal/coke (25 km logistics base, with adjustments per kilometer).Â
- Indexation: It defines the “Industrial commodities less fuels” PPI (WPU03T15M05, USA) as the applicable index starting from the second seasonal year, with an annual cap of ±2.91% and accumulation of factors.Â
- Natural Gas: It allows for the submission of more than one supply proposal; the bidder must indicate, up to three business days before the economic evaluation, which one will be used, without reducing the scope or worsening the economic conditions.Â
