The Somali Ministry of Energy and Water Resources is accepting expressions of interest from consultancies to support efforts to repair and expand the power grid in Bossaso.
According to the tender documents, the consultancy services will include an assessment of Somalia’s existing electricity supply, network and electric power infrastructure, as well as a feasibility study to repair and expand the Bossaso power grid project. Bossaso is one of Somalia’s largest cities, on the northern coast of the country.
The consultancy work is expected to last five months. It has a scheduled commencement date of May 2024. The project will be funded via a grant from the African Development Bank.
