Introduction 1.1 Introduction The Republic of Botswana’s electricity demand which currently stands at approximately 500MW is met from its coal fired power station (Morupule B – 600MW installed capacity) and diesel powered generation with a capacity of 195MW. This generation capacity is augmented with power imports mainly from Eskom of South Africa. A 132MW coal fired power station (Morupule A) is under commissioning after a comprehensive refurbishment and pollution abatement project which should be completed at the end of 2018. Given the abundant coal resources in the country, Botswana has been pursuing the development of coal fired power station in the past. However the country needs to honour its commitment under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as outlined below. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international environmental treaty adopted in May 1992 and entered into force in March 1994, after a sufficient number of countries had ratified it. The UNFCCC objective is to "stabilize gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system". Botswana signed the UNFCCC treaty in June 1992 and ratified it in January 1994. In pursuance of the UNFCCC climate change goals, many countries have signed the Paris Agreement which deals with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in the year 2020. In the Paris Agreement, each country determines, plans and regularly reports its own contribution it should make in order to mitigate global warming. While there is no mechanism to force a country to set a specific target by a specific date, each target should go beyond previously set targets. Botswana issued its percentage of greenhouse gases for ratification as 0.02% which was signed in April 2016, ratified in November 2016 and came into force in December 2016. In pursuance of climate change goals, the Government of Botswana (GoB) through the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) is driving the development of solar energy projects. In this regard, BPC floated two expressions of interest (EOIs) in June 2017, one for the development of a 100MW Solar PV grid connected plant and the other for off grid solar PV plants both projects being realised using an independent power producer (IPP) structure. In addition to the above stated projects currently under procurement, GoB and BPC would like to accelerate the development of renewable energy sources in the country and take advantage of funding mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF) which is established to support low emission and resilient developments. In line with the above, BPC has connections listed in Annex 1 to this Part 1 of this RFP for the development of twelve (12) grid connected solar PV plants (Accelerated Green Energy Initiative - AGEI). The respective capacities of the solar PV plants (AGEI) are indicated in the said Annex. Given the above, BPC is inviting proposals from selected bidders to tender for the development of the solar PV power plants under the AGEI. This initiative is in line with National Energy Policy goal of providing affordable, reliable and adequate supply of energy for sustainable development, as well as improving access to and efficient use of energy resources. 2 BPC Re-Tender No 2273/17 1.2 Project Objectives The key objectives for the Project are to: improve security and reliability of energy supply; increase share of new and renewable sources of energy in the energy supply mix of Botswana; offset Botswana’s carbon footprint; and achieve operation of the each of the solar PV power plants by 2020. 3 BPC Re-Tender No 2273/17 1.3 Definition of Terms For the purposes of this Request for Proposal, the following capitalised terms shall have the following meanings (whether used in singular or in plural).

Main subject was to identify the problems they are facing as leaders the local level. On the basis of this, IDEA developed a methodology for mapping local democracy, which was presented at a workshop in Cape Town in 2001. Five Cities throughout Africa were selected for a pilot phase to implement this methodology. Gaborone was one of them and the Botswana Association of Local Authorities, BALA was given the mandate to organize this effort. BALA then approached its long time cooperation partner, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES), asking for assistance. Since the Friedrich Ebert Foundation has a long and serious commitment to strengthen democracy on the local level, this request was answered positively. BALA and FES subsequently brought Dr. Zibani Maundeni, the Coordinator of the Democracy Research Project from the University of Botswana on board as the academic mastermind and facilitator for the activities to be undertaken.
