MOSCOW. June 10 (Interfax) - Russia's Tekhnopromexport company will bid in a series of tenders to build
energy-generating facilities in Uruguay, said the company's press service.

Energy and Mines Minister Jose Villar, and the director of the state-owned electricity distribution company, Ricardo
Scaglia.
Their meeting took place on the sidelines of a forum of South American and Russian businessmen in Montevideo.
