Namibia Power (NamPower) on Friday started its search for an environmental impact assessment consultant for the national electricity utility’s solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.

Nampower aimed to develop three 10 MW solar PV power plants in Namibia as part of its urgent strategy of securing power supply for its two-million residents.

The request for proposal (RFP) opened for bidders after the power utility issued tender prequalification questionnaires on Thursday.

The selected consultant would be tasked with examining all aspects of the project and identifying the overall potential impact of a solar PV project, including its engineering, construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning activities.

The winning bidder would also outline, besides others, the physical, biological, social, economic and health and safety aspects of each phase at each site.

NamPower had selected sites within a 5km radius surrounding various substations, including Hardap, near Mariental; Osona, near Okahandja and the Omburu substation, near Omaruru.

Prospective consultants had until September 27 to submit their bids.
