Kenya - Consultancy Services for Renewable Integration Gap Analyses in Power System of Kenya

Request for Proposals for Consultancy Services for Renewable Integration Gap Analyses in Power System of Kenya
Description:
Ability of the Kenyan Grid to Absorb and Benefit From Intermittent, Renewable Power Generation Is Once Again Cast Into the Spotlight. Apart From Ltwp, Several Other Renewable Projects Are Scheduled to Reach Financial Close in the Near Term, Implying That Renewable, Intermittent Power Will Form a Greater Percentage of the Overall National Generating Mix. Other Near-term Intermittent Power Projects Include (Among Others):
1.kipeto Wind Project (100 Mw)
2.radiant Solar (40 Mw)
3.eldosol Solar (40 Mw)
4.alten Solar (40 Mw)
5.malindi Solar (40 Mw)
6.rea Garissa Solar (55 Mw)
7.isiolo Solar (40 Mw)
8.kenergy Solar (40 Mw)
9.makindu Solar (30 Mw)STATEMENT OF WORK
Taking cognizance of GSMP’s work already completed and recommendations made to date, and with a
view on prioritizing and operationalizing the recommendations of the GSMP, the Consultant will:
1.Evaluate at ground level within KPLC and KETRACO the operational readiness of these
entities to absorb and dispatch renewable power successfully, noting the characteristics of
the pipeline of renewable projects in Kenya, including sizing and phasing
2.Overlay the recommendations made by GSMP to date, and identify which recommendations
may be practically achievable and beneficial to KPLC and KETRACO within a reasonable
timeframe ( Immediate GMSP Implementation Steps ), noting the operational readiness and
capacity within the utilities (identified in #1 above);
3.In addition to the Immediate GMSP Implementation Steps (identified in #2 above), in
consultation with KPLC and KETRACO, identify other immediately implementable (practically
achievable steps) to enhance the utilities’ ability to move towards implementation in the most
expedient manner possible ( Additional Implementation Steps )
*****Evaluation Criteria
Selection of an offer for contract award will be based on an evaluation of proposals against technical merit
and budget justification. Proposals shall first be evaluated from a technical standpoint based on the
technical proposal without regard to proposed budget justification. For those proposals determined to be
technically acceptable, budget justification will be evaluated.
