Loss Mitigation Analytics and DSM Frameworks Consultancy

Description

Jamaica has received financing from the Inter-American Development Bank and the European Union's Caribbean Investment Facility (EU-CIF) for the Energy Management and Efficiency Program (EMEP) and will use part of the proceeds to finance this consultancy. The operation is JA-G1003 and the financing contract is GRT/ER-16412-JA.

The Ministry of Energy, Transport and Telecommunications invites eligible consulting firms to submit expressions of interest to develop an integrated national electricity loss reduction, demand management (DSM), community energy transition and resilience framework. The aim is to address the technical, commercial, socio-economic and institutional causes of electricity losses, promoting safe electrification, integration of distributed energy resources and decarbonisation.

The services comprise 15 technical tasks organized into six operational pillars, with national coverage of generation, transmission, distribution, customer service, distributed energy resources and community infrastructure.

Selection will be made through Quality and Cost-Based Selection (SBCC), in accordance with IDB policies. Firms must accredit at least three similar projects executed in the last ten years, with experience in electricity loss reduction, demand management or energy efficiency and at least two complementary areas, such as microgrids, community electrification, regulation or energy financing. Experience in Jamaica, the Caribbean and small island States will be an asset. Partnerships and sub-consultancies are allowed, and the shortlist will include between five and eight eligible firms.
