Beschreibung der Beschaffung
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is seeking to hire an international qualified Consultant to Support New and Renewable Energy Authority (NREA) in Egypt to undertake the study: ‘Engineering Services to Develop Utility-Scale Renewable Energy Power Plants at the Egyptian West Nile Site’. The objective is dividing and delineating part of the area allocated in Egypt, the West Nile region, in addition to submitting proposals for the required infrastructure so as to prepare the land under study for the establishment of wind and solar energy projects. The overall objective of the study is to delineate about 350 square kilometres of the total area allocated to NREA in the West Nile region:
A. Cluster of grid-connected utility-scale wind power plants at a pre-selected site on a total area of 300 square kilometer (km); designated for approximately six wind plant sites with 250 MW capacity. The final number of sites will be determined after a review of available information and site delineation phase. Possible adjustment to this number will be made after completion of the desktop study.
B. Cluster of grid-connected utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants at a pre-selected site on a total area of 50 square kilometer (km), designated for approximately 20 photovoltaic projects with 100 MWp capacity.
In order to achieve the objective above, MoERE/NREA alongside the GIZ/JCEE, has identified several work packages in which the consultant services are required:
1) Establishment of a project management structure with the gap analysis of available studies and data which is needed for the scope of work;
2) Site Planning and delineation. The consultant shall start the detailed land division over wind and photovoltaic projects, determination of specific grid connection points and proposition of number and location of transformer stations. Site selection will also comply with sufficient RE resources, presence of local road network, site ownership, and grid connection. This should be performed after the necessary topographical analysis needed. The consultant shall prepare also a ToR for the civil works needed on the site such as soil analysis which will be assigned to a local company;
3) Engineering Site Design. Site design will include considerations of completed surveys, land use, and land cover constraints. The final RE site layout will be based on RE resources, surface parameters, and environmental conditions. The outcome of soil surveys will indicate whether optimal placements can be realized. Results of the topographic survey will enable the assessment of compliance with existing height constraints. The design layout shall include:
— planned roads connecting each plant and existing roads,
— constraints to avoid agricultural areas, surface mining and unstable sand dunes,
— outline of existing water and sanitation networks, if any,
— proposed suitable locations of transmission lines, substation, service area, parking lots,
— buffer zones around the project area.
4) In-depth workshop presenting results achieved, with the justification of the proposed site layouts, the technical aspects of project implementation, sequence, and inter-dependencies of subsequent implementation steps.
The proposed area is one of the lands assigned to NREA to develop the renewable projects according to their target planning. it is required from the hired consultant to include the capacity development for the delegated NREA team. This is required to enhance their capability for managing the similar project development procedure as described below for the future land demarcation
All the deliverables should be in the form of studies/reports/presentations that have to be concluded through good-practice research, intense discussions and fact finding in meetings and workshops with the relevant stakeholders in Egypt along with the proper on ground supervision during the tendering process and implementation period of the civil activities done by a local consultant.
