DFID 8264 Energy Security and Resource Efficiency Programme Phase 2 Contract Award

Tender description

The Overall Phase 2 objective is to deliver on the programme's aim of increasing access and reducing cost. In order to make progress toward this, we expect the supplier to support two key areas: 1. Support to the future sustainability of existing mini-grid sites, ensuring progress towards improved IPP professionalization enabling progress towards improved efficiency and more progressive tariffs, with a focus on understanding aspects of impact on a range of customers. This will include a package of targeted technical assistance to the MoEM to enable it to function as a regulator. 2. Support a renewable energy fund to deliver an expansion of sustainable renewable energy infrastructure, resulting in further improvements in access, including in productive services and with a view to understanding energy as a constraint to business growth. This will operate across Somaliland and will consider both rural and urban areas. This includes supporting grant recipients to develop appropriate quality business proposals and address the key lessons around potential grant recipient capacity identified in Phase 1.
