Furnas' newly-formed special-purpose company Centrais de Geração Eólica (CGEOL), which controls the complex, will oversee the tender, which requires suppliers to comply with the country's local-content rules and to deliver the turbines in time for a start-up of the plant in mid-2018.
The draft tender rules are up for public consultation over the next few weeks and CGEOL hopes to sign the contracts by March 2016, a company official told Recharge.
