In order to make public procurement transparent and public, the National Electricity Administration (ANDE) clarified some aspects to be taken into account with respect to the tenders planned for this year.

In reference to the bidding process for the Execution of Works for the Adequacy and Expansion of the Electric Distribution System in the Regional Agencies and Asunción under the Open Contract Modality (HHPO), he clarified that it will be carried out in order to meet the growth in demand, improving the low and medium voltage networks and the distribution posts. In addition, it will seek to reduce the time of the works execution process (minimizing modification agreements) and increase investment in the electric system by departments.

He also clarified that, with respect to the Execution of Works for the Expansion and Adjustment of Feeders of the Distribution System in the National Territory under the Open Contract modality (HHPO), the aim will be to reduce the inconveniences in the electricity supply through the execution of works for the expansion and adjustment of medium voltage networks throughout the country.

Both works will imply a substantial improvement in the country's electricity service, so the head of ANDE emphasized that they must be executed correctly and efficiently. This will be a commitment both for ANDE and for the companies awarded in both processes, taking into account the proximity of the negotiations on Itaipu's reversal notes.
