Nica Electric

Nicaragua's energy regulator INE has launched an international E&P concession tender for three geothermal blocks with a combined potential to generate 1,500MW.

The blocks are Volcán Casita-San Cristóbal, Caldera de Apoyo and Volcán Mombacho, which hold Central America's largest reserve of geothermal resources, according to INE

The regulator will open a data room on Wednesday (Sep 20), with company documents due February 15. The contract is due to be awarded in April. Site visits are scheduled for next month.

In 1999, INE awarded two production concessions for geothermal power and this year granted two exploration concessions.
