REQUEST FOR QUOTATION FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OF SUSTAINABLE SOLAR PV SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCTIVE USE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LABORATORY COMPLEX OF THE STANDARDS ORGANIZATION OF NIGERIA AND SELECTED SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES
TENDER NOTICE FOR THE SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF:
I) 200KWP SOLAR PV HYBRID SYSTEM AT STANDARDS ORGANIZATION OF NIGERIA LABORATORY COMPLEX, OGBA, LAGOS;
II) 50KWP SOLAR PV HYBRID SYSTEM AT A SELECTED SME CLUSTER IN EKITI STATE; AND
III) 50KWP SOLAR PV HYBRID SYSTEM AT A SELECTED SME CLUSTER IN KANO STATE
The International Centre for Energy, Environment and Development Foundation (ICEED Foundation) is committed to the goal of poverty eradication. We deliver this commitment by providing the evidence base for reforms and influence that shape Nigeria’s climate and energy security. ICEED Foundation is leading efforts to expand access to clean and sustainable energy solutions for public institutions and micro, small and medium scale clusters across Nigeria. With funding from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under the Nigeria Energy Support Programme (NESP), ICEED Foundation is implementing the “DEPLOYMENT OF SUSTAINABLE SOLAR PV SYSTEMS FOR PRODUCTIVE USE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LABORATORY COMPLEX OF THE STANDARDS ORGANIZATION OF NIGERIA AND SELECTED SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES” Project. This project, among other deliverables, seeks to deploy a 200kWp hybrid solar PV electricity system in Standards Organization of Nigeria Laboratory Complex, Ogba, Lagos. This will provide the electricity needs of the AC and refrigerator laboratories as well as enhanced electricity supply for the management office. The project will also deploy 50kWp hybrid solar electricity in two SME clusters in Ekiti and Kano States. This will reduce their energy costs and improve the competitiveness of the SMEs. It will also strengthen institutional capacity for decentralized renewable electricity.
The Project therefore seeks to procure and install the following solar PV equipment and materials:
