Suriname issues solar equipment call

Suriname’s state-owned power utility EBS seeks suppliers of electrical materials for solar plants under a project to improve sector sustainability.

The government has received financing from the European Union for the initiative which is supervised by IDB.

EBS will accept bids through April 23 and the delivery period for the materials is 15 months, according to the procurement notice.

The project aims to expand electrification in off-grid areas which rely on diesel-fired generation units.

IDB information highlights that EBS operates seven networks, the largest of which serves the capital of Paramaribo (nearly 144,000 customers) with peak demand of around 200MW and is supplied by hydro and heavy fuel oil (HFO)/diesel.

The other six networks serve a little over 16,000 customers with installed capacity of 43.6MW from HFO/diesel.
