In February 2026, the overseas new energy market set off a bidding boom.
According to foreign media reports, on February 20, the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) launched an international tender to build a 500MW solar power project in the West Nile region of Egypt.
EETC is inviting tenders from local and international developers. The successful bidder will develop the project on a build-own-operate model, responsible for the design, financing and construction of the project located in the West Nile region. After the
Plant is put into operation, EETC will purchase the energy generated in accordance with the PPA. The deadline for submission of pre-qualification documents for this
tender is May 11.
This tender is divided into three bid sections. One of the bidding sections is a photovoltaic system of more than 30 kilowatts and less than 200 kilowatts located on the roof or land of the business park; The second bid section is an innovative photovoltaic system with a capacity of more than 30 kW to 200 kW installed on buildings, including light roofs " In fact, according to the incomplete statistics of the Digital New Energy DataBM. Com. In addition to the two countries mentioned above, since February 2026, Guatemala, India, Germany, Luxembourg, the Philippines, France and other countries have launched solar energy. 
seventh round of the Energy Development Program (GEA-7), also scheduled to launch in 2026, will focus on rooftop solar and solar-plus-storage projects in specific areas of the country. The
eighth round of the Global Energy Auction (GEA-8) will focus on canal solar, agricultural solar and fishpond elevated solar, and is scheduled to be held later in 2026 or 2027. The
ninth round of the Global Energy Auction (GEA-9), which will cover solar, biomass, geothermal, hydropower and onshore wind technologies, is expected to start in 2027, with the exact installed capacity yet to be announced.
Secondly, in February, only one country, Guatemala, entered the key stage of bidding.
On February 17, foreign media reported that Guatemala received 51 bids for the fifth phase of the power generation expansion plan (PEG-5), with a total installed capacity of nearly 4. 1.
It is reported that the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Guatemala and the National Commission of Electric Power and Energy launched the technical tender for the PEG-5 project in April 2025.
This tender received 51 tenders, involving nearly 4 installed capacity. About 2GW of them are photovoltaic projects (including hybrid projects with energy storage), which will participate in the bidding of long-term power supply contracts from 2030-2033.
Finally, a total of four overseas countries completed the tender, involving a total installed capacity of solar energy exceeding 7 GW.
Among them, the largest tender for solar energy projects is the United Kingdom . In the latest auction of contracts for difference, the British government won 4.
The British government awarded 72 projects in the seventh round of allocation (AR7). 1
. The most prominent tender for energy storage projects is Australia . It is reported that the sixth round of the tender for the long-term energy storage (LDES) roadmap in New South Wales, Australia, has awarded six new long-term energy service agreements (LTESA) for battery energy storage projects, with a total capacity of 1.17 GW/11
. The next round of LDES bidding will begin in the second quarter of 2026, seeking 12 GWh of energy storage projects, followed by another 12 GWh of energy storage projects in 2027.
