The Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME) of Mozambique has announced a new initiative under the GET FiT Mozambique Program, funded by the Government of Germany through KfW Development Bank.
This initiative aims to support decentralized utility solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, to be implemented by Independent Power Producers (IPP) across several provinces.
The Autoridade Reguladora de Energia (ARENE) will oversee the tender process, leveraging their mandate as outlined in Mozambique’s energy laws. ARENE intends to select two experienced IPPs through an International Competitive Bidding (ICB) process with prequalification. This selection process aligns with KfW’s procurement guidelines, ensuring transparency and adherence to international standards.
The projects will focus on enhancing energy access and reliability in provinces including Nampula, Zambézia, Sofala, and Gaza. Interested firms are encouraged to download the Prequalification Documents, available in English and Portuguese, from ARENE’s data room.
Registration for access requires contacting ARENE via email at concurso.getfit@arene.org.mz, where firms will be guided through a confidentiality undertaking and user nomination process for data room access.
Applications must be submitted in sealed envelopes to ARENE’s Acquisition Department by 12:00 p.m. Mozambique time on September 13, 2024.
This initiative marks a significant step towards bolstering Mozambique’s renewable energy infrastructure, supported by international cooperation and aimed at sustainable development goals.
