The Proposal submission deadline is November 1, 2024 at 11 p.m. Local Time in Malawi, 5 p.m. ET. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $1,326,543 grant to Mzuzu WF Limited from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.

About the Grantee

Specially formed to own and operate the Project, Mzuzu WF Limited is the Malawi- based wholly-owned subsidiary of JCM Power, a Canadian renewable energy company operating exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia. JCM Power seeks to advance clean energy via its projects in these regions, while also accelerating social, economic, and environmental sustainability through the development of renewable energy projects.

Project Background

The Project includes a 50 MW wind energy generation facility with an accompanying 100 MWh BESS southeast of the city of Mzuzu in the northern region of Malawi. When implemented, the Project will be one of Malawi’s first utility-scale wind energy generation facilities and will significantly contribute to the country’s generation capacity, while helping to stabilize the national energy grid through BESS.

About the Study

Building on pre-feasibility studies previously completed by JCM Power, the Study will assess the technical, economic, and financial viability of installing the 50 MW wind power facility and the accompanying 100 MWh BESS. It includes tasks that will (i) evaluate and analyze wind resources in the Project area, (ii) determine the optimal design of the Project, (iii) review Malawian standards and regulations relevant to establishing a wind energy generation facility, (iv) develop a dispatch schedule based on hourly electric demand to optimize the use case and size of the BESS, (v) provide recommendations for upgrades to the national electric grid following analyses of the grid, (vi) produce transmission grid simulations, (vii) draft information and tender documents for requests for proposals to potential equipment suppliers, contractors, and financial institutions, and (viii) conduct environmental and social and development impact assessments.
