Description: The assignment aims to conduct pre-feasibility studies and techno-economic analysis of RE-powered mini grid sites in selected 30 provincial and district cities. The assessment and conclusion will be the basis to identify upcoming priority WB investments and engage consultations with the Government of CAR (GoCAR) to discuss and agree on potential project design and components. The study will incorporate GIS planning and will recommend optimum technical solutions focusing on solar PV solutions with battery storage and minihydro solutions where possible. The consultant will then recommend appropriate business models for the sustainable operation of these mini-grids either by the utility ENERCA, community-based solutions or with private sector participation where feasible.
