1. 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 40 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Mtoni.

Zanzibar Electricity Corporation (ZECO), the Implementing Agency, now invites sealed Bids from eligible Bidders for Design, Supply, Installation, Testing, Commissioning and Initial Operation of 40 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Mtoni, which includes the following: design, supply, installation/construction, testing and commissioning and initial operation of a centralized publicly owned BESS. The BESS is part of the Renewable Energy and Storage Infrastructure component, which includes construction of solar park with 18 MW solar PV plant (which will be tendered separately under WB financing as well). The solar PV plant will pilot utility-scale renewable energy development in Zanzibar, and the BESS will support the grid by providing supply. The BESS will be connected to the ZECO grid at one of the existing and planned 132kV substations. The BESS will provide multiple benefits to the Zanzibar grid, saving the evening peak demand, managing the variability of solar PV, and allowing greater future integration of VRE. The BESS will have two main use cases: (i) help store electricity produced by the solar PV during the day and supply energy to the grid during evening peak period; and (ii) compensate for the fluctuations inherent to solar power generation.

2. The selected site location for BESS will be at Unguja, Mtoni, Zanzibar (within premises of 132 kV Mtoni substation).

3. The Expected duration of the Contract is 12 months, including 36-months initial operation and maintenance support.
