The construction phase of the project is expected to last approximately five months and will be developed in four stages. Once completed, the PV plant will supply electricity to some 40,000 homes. The first stage includes preliminary studies on the area and on the installation of the project, analysis of existing information, advice on the preparation of the SPE (company for specific purposes), and the first technical and economic evaluation. The second stage will focus on the development of studies, analysis, and detailed information necessary for the installation of the project, economic evaluation, and tentative technology proposal and layout options.

In the third stage, the General and Particular Terms and Conditions will be drawn up to tender the construction and commissioning of the project.
