Ethiopia launches RFQ for 250 MW solar project

The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) launched a Request for Pre-Qualification (RFQ) for the development of two solar photovoltaic projects totaling 250 MW.

The tender is part of the government plan to develop up to 500 MW of solar photovoltaic through the World Bank’s Scaling Solar program.

The RfQ round will pre-qualify prospective bidders with the requisite experience, expertise, and financial resources to rapidly deliver the two IPP projects.

Through the tender, EEP is looking for parties with the required experience, expertise and financial resources to rapidly deliver the projects.

 The RfQ exercise will prequalify bidders, who will move to the request for proposals (RfP) stage. The deadline for applications is 21 November 2017.

The Ethiopian tender represents the fifth Scaling Solar tender in Africa to date, after the recent RFQ launch for Madagascar. Zambia, Senegal, and Madagascar are also in different phases of Scaling Solar tender.

Through the EEP, Ethiopia, the fourth country to join Scaling Solar program, signed an agreement with IFC to advise on developing up to 500 MW of solar power under the initiative.
