Uruguay's ministry of industry, energy and mines (MIEM) released the names of companies participating in the tender to develop up to 150MW of wind capacity organized by state power company UTE.
Twenty-two bids from 15 different firms were received earlier this month, with each wind farm ranging in capacity from 30MW to 50MW. Tender results are due out in coming months.
Local company Polesine submitted three separate bids, while firms Aguas Leguas, Ensol, Kital and Ladaner each proposed two projects. Generacion Eolica Minas, the local subsidiary of German renewable energy group Sowitec, also made two bids.
Six of the projects are submitted for Maldonado department on the country's southeast coastline, where UTE currently operates its 20MW Caracoles wind farm.
The bidding process is part of UTE's drive to add 300MW of wind capacity by 2015, when the company expects 50% of its capacity to come from renewable.
