Technical requirements: The Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) aims at enabling investments in the market for renewable energy — RE and energy efficiency — EE, and improving access to electricity in Nigeria. The programme is co-funded by the European Union and the German Government, and implemented by GIZ and the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing.
The renewable energy sector in Nigeria is currently experiencing an increase in investments. This has led to the increasing number of mini grid projects and has thus become important to develop standards for these equipment to further strengthen the environment for investments.
NESP II wants standards for solar PV modules, batteries and charge controllers, including the safe use and disposal of lead acid and other batteries used in solar Photovoltaic — PV and other power back up systems.
This project will address the existing needs in the renewable energy sector in terms of operational and technical standards and support in terms of the development of standards for solar PV modules, batteries and charge controllers, in order to boost investments.
In its second phase, NESP is looking for a multi-disciplinary team of international and national consultants who will support the development of standards for solar PV modules, batteries and charge controllers, including the safe use and disposal of lead acid and other batteries used in solar PV and other power back up systems.
For the assignment diverse experts (approx. 942 expert days) in accordance to the terms of reference are needed to develop those standards. Details are provided with the tender documents.
