The objective of this assignment is to enhance the performance, financial management and governance of the renewable energy sector, overseen through the New & Renewable Energy Authority (NREA), by improving the transparency, accountability, and managing efficiency of the Authority, through the:
• improvement of the NREA’s organisation and corporate structure;
• advancement of the financial management within the NREA, including the financial forecast programme; and
• capacity building and coaching of personnel.

The AfDB, through the Desert to Power initiative, selected the consortium led by SOFRECO to carry out a technical study on the integration of solar power generation into the electricity grids of Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Niger and Chad.
The study aims to provide each country with a roadmap for the development of renewable energies, particularly solar energy, in the short, medium and long terms. The study aims to enable each country to define the short-, medium- and long-term investment priorities for the development of renewable energies throughout the national territory, while minimising the cost of supplying the country with electricity, within the acceptable limits of reliability.

The overall objective of this assignment is to set up and run the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), which, under the supervision of the MWE, should be able to: i) effectively manage, coordinate, implement and supervise all (sub-)components of the PAAET Project, until their objectives are achieved, and ii) contribute to capacity building for the institutional actors involved, such as the MWE, and to transfer our skills to enable the Ministry to master PIU activities.

Ginger SOFRECO, under the Scaling Mini Grids initiative by the International Financial Corporation (IFC), is supporting the Congolese government, through the ARE (Electricity Regulatory Authority) and UCM (Project Coordination and Management Unit of the Ministry), in developing mini-grids in Kabinda, Kananga, and Mbuji-Mayi, including tender processes, transaction finalization with selected developers, contract monitoring and capacity building.

The Project assists the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar (RGoZ) in creating an effective legal and regulatory environment for promoting renewable energy projects and facilitating private sector participation through a well-structured tendering programme. Phase 1 of the project focuses on the gap analyses, legal reforms, risk assessments, tender strategy formulation, capacity building and communication planning to ensure readiness for competitive bidding. Phase 2 involves executing the first renewable energy tender, providing end-to-end transaction advisory services, including bid management, evaluation and commercial close. The project aims to amalgamate technical, legal and financial knowledge, aligned with global standards in PPP renewable energy project tendering practices.

Technical Assistance to the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources in electricity sector reforms (organizational support to national company unbundling, electricity market development, tariff methodology, enhancing generation, transmission, and distribution efficiency and capacity building), independent power production and renewable energy projects development.
