Tender for the Construction of Hydro Power Plants on the Morača Failed The tender for the construction of hydro power plants on the Morača River was not successful as none of the qualified bidders submitted an offer. After more than a year of waiting to establish qualifying bids for the construction of four hydropower plants, only the consortium of A2A, EPCG and Italian Enel remained in April 2011. The Montenegrin government once again extended the deadline for the submission of bids to the fall of 2011 at the request of the Italian company. Some economists highlighted the fact that the power plants could provide a significant threat to untouched natural resources.
