The project is classified under a commercialization stage, indicating it is operational and will require successful bidders to deliver electricity for a maximum duration of 36 months, with the possibility of renewal.

The tender application process is structured as an open call, providing opportunities for any suitable supplier to submit a bid through an electronic submission system. The submission deadline is set for 18 July 2025, with the actual public opening planned for the same day. The award method is based on the lowest price, making it a competitive bidding process.
