Description: Access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy is the sine qua non of achieving all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) due to its deep inter-linkages with all these goals.

In this context, the Belgian Government supports FUNAE (Fundo de Energia - Energy Fund) with the programme RERD2 (Renewable Energy for Rural Development Phase 2) developed by Enabel (the Belgian Development Agency, former BTC).

These Terms of Reference (ToRs) describe the scope of the consultancy services to improve the technical skills of FUNAE’s staff of the Division of solar and wind systems (DSSE) on the design of solar hybrid mini-grids and battery systems.
