Project ID No. P501985

The Government of Nepal (GoN) has received financing in the amount of US$120 million from the World Bank toward the cost of the Electricity Supply Reliability Improvement Project, and it intends to apply part of the proceeds to payments for goods, works, non-consulting services and consulting services to be procured under this project.

The project includes the following components:

Component 1: Strengthening of Nepal Electricity Authority’s (NEA) Distribution Network and Commercial Systems (US$ 118 million to be fully financed by IDA credit). The activities of this component include expansion and strengthening of the distribution network of NEA and improve the reliability of supply and capability in accurate measurement through implementing feeder automation and smart metering as well as strengthen energy management, and billing for electricity services in Koshi, Karnali, Madhesh, Bagmati and Sudurpaschim provinces. This component will have the following two sub-components.

Sub-component 1.1: Strengthening of NEA Distribution Network (estimated cost of US$ 101.00 million to be fully financed by IDA credit). This sub-component will finance the following: (a) construction of new 33/11 kV substations near the load centers identified by NEA in selected areas in Nepal; (b) construction of new 33 kV lines to these substations; (c) upgrade of existing and construction of new 11 kV, and 0.4 kV feeders and distribution lines and 11/0.4 kV distribution transformers in load centers of selected areas; and (d) installation of auto reclosure (AR) and smart load break switches (SLBS), including their control mechanism in 33 and 11 kV feeders.

Sub-component 1.2: Strengthening of NEA Commercial Systems (estimated cost of US$ 17 million to be fully financed by IDA credit). This sub-component will finance the following: (i) installation of smart meters along with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) replacing the conventional metering systems for consumers, (ii) installation/integration of meter data management system (MDMS), customer information system (CIS), consumer portal, communication systems and gateways, and other related infrastructure; iii) establishment of relevant functionalities such as data recording and management systems, data analytical tools and other related infrastructure; (iv) establishment of billing system within the AMI center with invoicing, collection, reporting, and other relevant functionalities and other related infrastructure.

Component 2: Project Implementation Support (US$ 2 million to be fully financed by IDA credit). This component will finance the following: (a) owner’s engineer, which will be responsible for preparation of all designs, detailed technical specifications, and tender documents for main contracts (e.g. Smart Meter and Feeder Automation) under the Project, tendering process, technical supervision of contracts, monitoring of contractors’ compliance with the requirements of environment and social (E&S) instruments, site supervision and quality control, addressing climate resilience and adaptation requirements in all designs, reporting on project progress, and review and approval of payment certificates, and other aspects of contracts related to improvement of NEA operating and commercial systems; (b) consultants to strengthen NEA’s Project Implementation Unit (PIU); (c) preparation of various technical, economic, financial and other studies that will required for generation, transmission, and distribution sectors and overall Project implementation.

Brief description of the goods, work, non-consulting services and consulting services to be procured through open international competitive procurement are as follows:

• Feeder Automation works at various provinces of Nepal. The scope of this project includes supply, installation and communication integration of Load Break Switch (LBS), Auto Reclosure (AR) and Fault Pass Indicator (FPI) in the existing distribution system. This package has been divided into following four (4) lots:

1.1 Lot 1: Feeder automation at Koshi and Madhesh Province

1.2 Lot 2: Feeder automation at Bagmati Province

1.3 Lot 3: Feeder automation at Karnali Province and Banke & Bardiya Districts

1.4 Lot 4: Feeder automation at SudurPaschim Province

2. Reinforcement of Distribution Networks. The activities include the refurbishment and construction of, 11 kV and 0.4 kV lines, composite lines and distribution transformers. The contract for this task will be divided into following two lots:

2.1. Lot 1: Distribution System Reinforcement of different districts under Koshi Province. The scope includes Upgradation and Reinforcement of approximately 1250 km Distribution Lines and construction of approx. 600 km of new distribution lines. Similarly, upgradation and installation of approx. 600 Nos. of Distribution Transformers is also under the scope of this project.
