The Central Electricity Board (CEB), has invited consultancy firms to submit their proposals for developing a feasibility study into the installation of a 30 MW floating solar PV array at the 60 ha Tamarind Falls Reservoir in the archipelago’s southwest, Mauritius.
The first floating solar PV project at the reservoir got underway in 2019 after consultancy company RINA Consulting was chosen to carry out a feasibility study on setting up a floating solar PV array at the location. Following the study, the government approved the launch of a pilot 2 MW project. In November 2022, CEB issued a call for additional applications for the second stage of the pilot project. Six bids were received; however, none were deemed responsive after evaluation. Consequently, CEB opted for a rebid exercise for the pilot phase. The 2 MW solar farm is expected to be operational by August 2024.
Bids shall be submitted online on the e-Procurement System by October 16, 2023. More information about this tender can be found on our Business Opportunity page here.
