Panama state power transmission company Etesa is looking for the contractor to build and put into operation the 230 kV Panamá III-Sabanitas transmission line and associated substations.
A commission in Panama has recommended that the contract be awarded to Agrupación Sabanita Panamá (Elecnor-Elecen) which fulfilled all bidding requirements, reports BN Americas. The project valued up to $98.5 million is a 2,000 MVA link that will run along the Panamá-Colón highway and include gas insulated substations at each end.
The 50 km double circuit will reinforce dispatch from Colón province to capital Panama City.
