Banadir covers the same area as the capital of Somalia, Mogadishu, and the 46 sites are all education facilities in the city. The projects will include two years of operations and maintenance (O&M) services with the possibility of contract extension.

The deadline is 1 August, 2024, and bids need to be sent physically to the interim project coordinator’s address, which is in the tender documentation on the MoEWR website here.

The tender document specifically calls for lithium-ion BESS technology alongside monocrystalline or polycrystalline PV modules. The 46 projects range from a minimum of 250kW PV and 100kW/800kWh of BESS at the high end to a minimum of 16kW PV and 20kW/50kWH BESS at the low end.

All in all, the 46 projects at up to a total (minimum) of 1.6MW of solar PV and 1.26MW/5.3MWh of BESS technology.

The projects are part of the goverment’s Somalia Electricity Sector Recovery Project (SESRP), launched in 2022. The World Bank-funded project aims to increase access to sustainable and clean energy through private sector participation in Somalia, the Bank said.
