Electro Power Systems (Paris:EPS):
The Government of the Republic of Palau has decided, for internal reasons, to re-open a "Request for Proposal" (RFP) for the building of dispatchable solar PV project in support of the achievement of its energy goals. The launched of the RFP -that will last until 15 March- entails negotiating and signing a new PPA with the winner.
ENGIE EPS strongly believes that its unique, utility-scale project was a global reference for the state-of-the-art technology and the most competitive when it won the first RFP and is still the best offer. ENGIE EPS has therefore every confidence that it will again propose the most suitable solution to Palau's expectation.
The outcome of the RFP will be reflected in ENGIE EPS 31 March backlog, when it will be published.
