General Procurement Notice for: Emergency power restoration project
The project will include the following components;
Component 1: Kapichira Dam Rehabilitation and Strengthening (US$44.7 million IDA equivalent)
This component will finance the return to resilient operation of the 129.6 MW Kapichira hydropower plant through the rehabilitation and upgrade of the Kapichira dam and spillways. The following phased approach is proposed to be implemented for the protection, rehabilitation, and strengthening of Kapichira dam (Phase 2 of which will be financed under the proposed project)
Component 2: Transmission and Distribution Network Restoration (US$15.3 million IDA equivalent)
This component will finance the reconstruction of ESCOM’s infrastructure damaged by tropical storm Ana including both transmission (132kV & 66kV) and distribution (33kV, 11kV and 400V lines) networks where a number of power line components have been affected. These include steel towers, wooden poles and structures, transformers, conductors and insulators among others. The damage caused by the tropical storm has been in various degrees including complete line sections, isolated structures and damage to specific equipment and materials in a manner that permanent rehabilitation works will have to comprise of complete line construction works, replacement of structures, and replacement of specific equipment and materials. As part of this reconstruction, natural and climate risks will be included in the engineering design. Examples of such resilience measures include, among others: provision of appropriate anchorage support, deep foundation and size of footings to adapt against extreme wind and flooding, elevated control room and critical equipment to reduce flood hazard potential, use of steel, concrete or composite towers, creation of vegetation buffers and regular vegetation management.
