Like always, never trust a politician, especially one that speaks Spanish. The announcement that JEMSA “won” the tender is, being generous, premature if not a straight lie.

Facing chronic energy shortages because lack of infrastructure investment over the past 14 years, plus a heavily subsidised system that provides very cheap electricity to consumers, the new government elected last year is trying to create ‘cheap’ renewable energy and, on 14 May 2016, they called tenders aimed to provide up to 8% of the electricity by 2017 (3000 Mw)

One of the groups that tendered was Jujuy. Last Friday, the National government announced they had received 123 offers from 80 companies of which 105 were considered suitable. Contracts will be announced next week and signed within 45 days. So, it remains to be seen if Jujuy is allocated a contract.

Governor Morales jumped the gun and told the locals they have won, when in fact they have been only one of the many just selected to enter the final race.

Since there is almost no electrical infrastructure in the region, if Jujuy gets one of the contracts, they will be transmitting the electrical power by telepathy.

It is obvious that our Jujuy “commentator” has a vested interest in spreading misinformation by telling high tales about flying pink elephants.
