Côte d'Ivoire - Installation of Photovoltaic Generators in Abidjan
The "New Deal for Energy in Africa", launched by the African Development Bank, aims to make energy universally accessible by 2025. A progressive shift to low-carbon energy systems including renewable energies is planned in order to guarantee a green growth. The possibility of installing photovoltaic generators on the bank's site is explored within the framework of the introduction of renewable energy systems.
The Consultant's role is to perform the feasibility study for the installation of solar panels on the bank´s building and to prepare the technical methodology for the procurement of such works.
intec's services
The mission's objective for the Consultant is to evaluate the feasibility for the construction of photovoltaic generators both in technical and administrative terms:
- Site analysis (visit the identified zones and electrical installations of the bank's building, identification of the shaded areas, evaluation of technical and architectural constraints, etc.);
- Identification of administrative and regulatory constraints (possibility to obtain a building permit, cross public streets, connection of PV generators to the electricity grid, regulatory constraints, etc.);
- Sizing of high performance photovoltaic cells, adapted for the sites and setting of balances of power;
- Sizing of the bearing structures and of all the elements needed for the connection to the electricity grid or for off-grid operation of the PV generators;
- Cost estimate of all the works including the annual operating and maintenance costs for the installations;
- Elaboration of tender specifications;
- Drafting the final report of the study phase;
- Supervision of works and procurement;
- Drafting of the project's final report.

Regional- Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP)
The project will support the establishment of a clear and stable policy and regulatory framework in seven countries (Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia) in order to create a conductive environment for private investments in renewable energy projects and contribute to additional access to energy and a cleaner energy mix. It will address the most pressing bottlenecks along the policy cycle facing meso-scale renewable energy projects, both on- and off-grid.
The project aims to build capacity within the government, and supporting the formulation of private sector-oriented renewable energy policies and regulations, as well as their implementation. Activities will be at the instigation of both public and private sector, however will always be targeted at (and therefore must be ‘owned’ by) public sector institutions. Subjects will be prioritised based on the potential for decreasing barriers towards renewable energy investment in the country.
intec's services
Based on preliminary studies and an analysis of the political economy of the sector in each country, intec will identify activities, which will contribute to unlocking renewable energy opportunities, and formulate a national action plan for the duration of the project. The implementation of this action plan will be monitored and supported by a National Supervisory Board composed of representatives from the main public institutions of the sector. intec will play a key role in supporting the National Supervisory Board and public institutions formulate their needs and develop specific requests for activities. This will ensure appropriateness of the action plan and political ownership.
On the basis of the needs identified in the preliminary studies, six types of activities will be carried out:
- Providing a platform for policy interaction through Stakeholder Workshops;
- Enabling officials to learn from peers in other countries through Bilateral Exchanges;
- Providing the foundation for evidence-based decision making through Policy Studies;
- Building capacity of public institutions through Trainings;
- Assisting with drafting of policy and regulatory documents through Formulation Support;
- Assisting with realisation of policy objectives through Implementation Support.
