On 15 July, the federal government is expected to announce rules for the tender, which aims to contract 600MW of wind, 300MW of solar and 100MW of other renewables.
Bids are expected to be made by 22 August and the power-purchase agreements to be signed in September.
Local press reported renewable energy secretary Sebastián Kind as saying he expects the tender to increase non-hydro renewables to more than 4% of the energy mix in two years, saving $300m on power imports, attracting $1.5bn
