Myanmar has effectively excluded potential foreign bidders from a major solar farm tender by imposing tough conditions, including a refusal to accept online submissions even while a COVID-19 ban on international flights has been extended. The Ministry of Electricity and Energy’s Electric Power Generation Enterprise (EPGE) informed companies that had purchased tender documents that “online submission is not allowed” despite the ban on travel restrictions and quarantine measures.
