The Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy has requested the assistance of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in the preparation and implementation of competitive renewable energy auctions.
EBRD launches tender that intends to engage a consultant to provide support to the Serbian Authorities in the auctions and to advise on how to improve the efficiency of the balancing costs arrangements for renewable energy in the country.
The key objectives of this assignment are to:
- Develop detailed recommendations on the design of auctions for procuring renewable energy capacity (including on the associated institutional, legal, and regulatory frameworks).
- Advise the Serbian authorities on the transition to a mechanism by which support to renewable energy is provided in relation to a reference electricity market price, and draft related documentation.
- Provide detailed recommendations on selected elements on the balancing arrangements for renewable energy, including the market and regulatory conditions under which RE producers may become balancing responsible parties (BRPs), and potential measures that may improve the efficiency of balancing arrangements.
- Prepare, up to the final version, all the auction-related documentation required for the implementation of the renewable energy auctions.
- Provide detailed technical, financial, legal, and environmental assistance to the Authorities for the implementation of renewable energy auctions.
- Evaluate the process and results of the auctions implemented under this Assignment, and provide advice to the Authorities on potential future changes to the renewable energy auctions framework.
In undertaking this assignment, the consultant is expected to conduct its own research to obtain the necessary information on current and planned arrangements in place in Serbia (for example, on balancing costs for renewable energy). EBRD may provide to the consultant selected documentation related to past assignments.
The detailed scope of work and services of the assignment is further described in the Full Terms of Reference which can be accessed here.
The deadline for the submission of documents to participate in the tender is on June 8, 2020.
