Request for Proposal (RFP) no. 2024/001

Request for Proposal (RFP) no. 2024/001 Small Scale Independent Power Producers. For an aggregated 5MW capacity of Renewable Based Distributed Generation. The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) is seeking potential Small-Scale Independent Power Producers (SS-IPP) with the ability, technical skills and capacity, financial and other relevant resources to construct, install, and operate their own Solar PV facilities or any other form of renewable energy source with relevant guidance and oversight by the Commission and the Network Licensee, GRENLEC. The PURC is administering this selective tender, guided by the Generation Expansion Planning and Competitive Procurement Regulation S.R.O. 21 2022, to seek proposals from investors interested in becoming SSIPPs to generate and sell renewable energy to the Network Licensee (Grenlec) through a standard Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Interested parties can submit proposals for distributed Generation facilities with fixed capacity sizes from 30kW up to and including 200kW. This tender process would award distributed generation facilities up to a total accumulated capacity of 5 MW. The PURC and the Network Licensee will determine the viability of these systems, through a thorough evaluation of the proposed projects and carrying out System Impact Studies (SIS) on projects selected by the Commission, respectively. Both the PURC and the Network Licensee will also ensure that the generation facilities are in compliance with requirements established in Section 37 of the Electricity Act 2016 (as amended) and with all applicable regulations, including those prescribing minimum margin of reserve, safety requirements, quality of service standards, and electricity supply below a certain price.
