Good afternoon evening,

The above term I found to be as a (short) list of candidates.,etc. but nothing seemingly to do with the area of my translation. I'll use it in context and will truly appreciate your input:

"El cargo de Peaje Secundario por Transmisión Equivalente en Energía (CPSEE) correspondiente a la segunda terna de las líneas de transmisión OOO y PPP, vigente en febrero de MMMM, es de 0,0079 ctm.X/./kWh."

"Terna, que representa a modo de referencia 0.078 X/MWh ó 0.025 US$/MWh (tipo de cambio venta al EE de febrero de MMMM) y los cargos por peaje secundario de transmisión entre la Barra de Entrega y la BRG se aplicarán conforme a lo establecido en las Resoluciones ."

Thanks and good evening,

Richard

neutral  Alejandro Alcaraz Sintes: I believe this would be the translation in the context of politics, i.e., a group of three candidates from which one must be chosen or appointed.
