Solitary bid open for Ikuribisi Hydroelectric consultancy services

Dec 18, 2019 News

The National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) yesterday opened 30 bids for nine major governmental projects.
One notable project included the ¬¬provision of consultancy services for the Environmental Assessment and Management Plan set out for the Ikuribisi 1MV hydroelectric project.
This Ikuribisi Hydropower Project entails the installation of a one megawatt hydropower plant and construction of a transmission line between the plant and the Bartica Power Station.
The aim of the assessment is to ensure that the environmental implications of the project are analysed and understood prior to commencement of construction. Furthermore, the power system is expected to run as an energy storage plant with a reservoir, which can serve as a seasonal storage system, hence limiting power outages within the area.
The environmental assessments offer guidance during the permitting phase of projects and ensure that the installation, operation and decommissioning of assets does not have significant effects on the environment.
This project forms a collection of energy initiatives to support the Green Bartica Development Plan.
Other noteworthy plans included the ¬¬construction of a Portuguese Arrival Memorial and the fabrication and delivery of one 53-metre pontoon for the Berbice Bridge maintenance.
