The tender was carried out under the "risk reduction independent generator procurement plan" (RMIPPPP).
The tender is open to a variety of energy and technologies, including renewable energy, on the condition that these power plants can be fully operational by the end of June 2022. According to the announcement, the proposed technical solution must be schedulable and capable of "providing a range of support services to grid system operators".
