The Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar (RGoZ), via the United Republic of Tanzania (the “Borrower”) has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Zanzibar Energy Sector Transformation and Access Project (ZESTA) and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the Contract for Design, Supply, Installation, Testing, Commissioning and Initial Operation of the Solar PV Plant at Makunduchi, Zanzibar.

Zanzibar Electricity Corporation (ZECO), the Implementing Agency, now invites sealed Bids from eligible Bidders for Design, Supply, Installation, Testing, Commissioning and Initial Operation of the Solar PV Plant, which includes the following:

Design, Supply, Installation, Testing, Commissioning and Initial Operation of the Solar PV Plant – design, supply, installation/construction, testing and commissioning and initial operation of the proposed Greenfield solar PV power generation plant. The initial operation and maintenance of the photovoltaic (PV) plant for a period of 3 years, ensuring smooth performance and addressing any operational challenges will be responsibility of EPC contractor. As PV technology is new in Zanzibar, the contractor is also required to provide comprehensive training to ZECO personnel, equipping them with the necessary skills to operate, maintain, and manage the plant independently after the handover of the initial operation of 3 years. This includes both theoretical and practical training on system operation, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance, ensuring a successful long-term transition. The plant rating will be minimum 18 MWp and will be constructed in Makunduchi, at one site already identified and owned by RGoZ (Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar) for RE (Renewable Energy) development. The project will also be supported with the associated works, including, but not limited to arrangement of short interconnection line/cable to connect the solar plant to the grid. The identified site already has good road access, and the interconnection point (substation) will be constructed in proximity to the site under the project.

The expected duration of the Contract is 12 months, plus 36-months O&M (Operation and Maintenance support) Period.
