Gambia - Environmental services for Solar PV development
The Republic of Gambia, through the National Water and Electricity Company Limited- NAWEC (the Client), is seeking the development of Solar PV power generation in the country. The objective of the assignment is to assess the technical viability of constructing solar PV power generation in Gambia. The study includes three models: EPC 20 MW at Jambur, IPP 120 - 130 MW at Soma and separate Battery Energy Storage Systems (grid connected) at Brikama. Furthermore, bidding documents are prepared for the grid connected PV + BESS at Jambur, including grid connection based on WB's standard procurement documents.
intec's services
A range of environmental services were carried out by intec, including the following:
- Project inception and implementation planning
- Solar Resource Assessment, Solar Data and Meteorological Conditions
- Site selection and studies for grid connected photovoltaic and battery energy storage (PV + BESS)
- Options for integration into existing power system
- Analysis of global environmental benefits and performance of legal due diligence
- Preliminary analysis of environmental and social impacts
- Training and capacity strengthening program
- The study emphasises on the carbon gains (avoided carbon emissions) from electricity generation by solar PV from different generation models. For each of them, identification and assessment of relevant environmental and social impacts was carried out in view of identifying the most sustainable option.
(The above services were provided in the framework of the project Feasibility Study for Solar PV Development - Jambur, EPC 20 MW and Soma, IPP 120 - 130 MW)

Zambia - ESIA and strengthening of environmental capacity
Kafue Gorge Regional Training Centre (KGRTC), established in 1989, provides quality training to regional power utilities. KGRTC intended to develop a small hydropower station at Kafue Gorge with ancillary transmission structures, termination and connection to the grid. The station has been constructed between the existing Kafue Gorge Power Station dam site and the tailrace of the Kafue Gorge Lower Hydropower Station, the size of the SHPP shall be a result of the present feasibility study. The feasibility study led to the preparation of a full basic design and of tender documents for the procurement of an EPC contractor.

Nigeria - "Transmission Lines and Associated Substation Agreement" for the 80 MW AC Nova Scotia Solar PV Project
Nova Scotia Power Development Limited (NSPDL) is developing a ground-mounted 80 MW (AC) solar PV plant. The proposed site is located some 5 km from the town of Dutse in Jigawa State. The proposed plant will be connected to the national transmission grid by means of a 132 kV double-circuit overhead line between the step-up transformer at the PV site to the 33/132 kV Dutse Substation owned and operated by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). The interconnection facility will be financed and constructed by NSPDL, but ownership will be transferred to TCN upon commissioning.
The project consists of advisory services to NSPDL for the completion and negotiation of a "Transmission Lines and Associated Substation Agreement" with TCN.
