Danish wind turbines producer Vestas and China’s Sinovel both bid for the contract, which is estimated at EUR53 million – EUR63 million.
“Unfortunately, we had to cancel the auction last week, but the project to build the wind farms will go on,” Ioan Folescu, general manager of Electrica, told Mediafax.
Folescu said both the auction documents and the bids filed by the two producers were incomplete.
Electrica plans to build two wind farms with an installed capacity of 50 MW each in Galati, pending regulatory authorizations. The investment is valued at EUR160 million.
The company runs six power supply and distributions units in Romania and has its shares in the hands of the Economy Ministry.
