The consulting services shall ensure that the project is implemented as designed and complies with all necessary regulatory, safety and quality requirements. Expressions of Interest are invited by 12 August from eligible consultancy firms.
The solar PV project will be part of a hybrid scheme that complements the existing 88 MW Mt. Coffee hydropower plant to improve energy efficiency and capacity while utilizing Liberia’s solar energy potential, especially during the dry season when demand is high and hydropower generation is low.
The project is to be funded by the World Bank through the Regional Emergency Solar Power Intervention Project (RESPITE). It is one of the three power generation projects currently being financed by the World Bank, the others being the Mt. Coffee Hydropower Plant Extension (which will add a nominal 60 MW to the existing 88 MW) and the repairs to Unit 1 at the Mt. Coffee power station extension.
The scope of contract and qualifying criteria can be viewed on the World Bank’s procurement website at:
