The Authorities of Ecuador has revealed an invite for EOIs for consultancy companies for drilling and wellhead era on the Chachimbiro geothermal website.
The Ecuadorian Authorities, by way of the Electrical Company of Ecuador (CELEC), has revealed an invite for Expressions of Curiosity (EOI) and monetary proposals for consulting companies for the development of a geothermal energy plant on the Chachimbiro website in Ecuador.
The interval for the preparation and submission of proposals can be till the ninth of August 2024.
Extra particulars on the EOI and the scope of consultancy work can be found on the official mission website. EOI paperwork can be found in each Spanish and English.
The advisor is predicted to conduct the next actions:

- Engineering, procurement, Implementation and building of a wellhead plant of as much as 5 MW;
- Execution of reservoir exams with era on the wellhead (as much as 5 MW);
- Fundamental design for the development of the steam hauling system, transmission line and 50 MW geothermal energy era plan, detailed design of extra vital wells, and the corresponding steady switch of data.
The time period for the availability of consulting companies can be round fifty-six (56) months plus twelve (12) extra months as a legal responsibility interval for defects.
Geoscientific research achieved in 2011 to 2012 on the Chachimbiro geothermal website within the Imbabura province in northern Ecuador point out a useful resource with temperatures of 225 to 235 °C. Complementary research had been then achieved to additional consider the useful resource and an exploratory effectively PEC1 was drilled to a depth of 2000 meters. Primarily based on the outcomes, it was proposed to proceed to a subject growth research and design of the geothermal energy plant.
Part 1 of the mission thus proposes the drilling of 4 manufacturing wells and 1 reinjection effectively, in addition to the development of a most 5-MW wellhead era unit as a take a look at plant. Part 2 will proceed with the drilling of extra wells and the development of a steam gathering system and a 50-MW geothermal energy plant.
Earlier this yr, the Inter-American Growth Financial institution (IADB) held a young for consulting companies for a geothermal growth plan in Ecuador.
