There were 51 bidders; bids were opened on 12 February 2026, the economic evaluation took place on 25 March 2026 and the award on 16 April 2026. The volume bid diverges between sources: Energia Estrategica reports 3,653.93 MW (of which 1,933.93 MW renewable), while Republica GT reports ~4,700 MW (more than 2,000 MW solar and ~700 MW gas). The audit of 19 August 2026 flagged the figure as divergent; it must be verified against the CNEE's official record.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

Caveat

divergent press figures (3,653.93 MW vs ~4,700 MW) — verify against the CNEE record

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
