Renewable Energy Mapping

Text Size Home Renewable Energy Mapping Mapping national renewable energy resources is a crucial step in providing governments with information to support expansion of renewable power generation. ESMAP is funding country- level resource mapping for biomass, small hydro, solar and wind. The ESMAP-funded projects are executed by World Bank operational units and cover comprehensive mapping and geospatial planning, including ground-based data collection. All data commissioned under this initiative will be made available to the Global Solar and Wind Atlas. The initiative, approved in October 2012, is expected to run over four years, supporting at least 10 country level resource mapping and spatial planning studies. Co-funding at the project level is being actively pursued to expand coverage.

These are open-ended, multi-year contracts for the provision of resource mapping services, allowing the World Bank to have a pre-approved list of 3-4 suppliers for each renewable energy resource covered -except biomass- and reducing the procurement time for each project.

Renewable Energy Mapping

The ESMAP-funded projects are executed by World Bank operational units and cover comprehensive mapping and geospatial planning, including ground-based data collection. All data commissioned under this initiative will be made available to the Global Solar and Wind Atlas.

The initiative, approved in October 2012, is expected to run over four years, supporting at least 10 country level resource mapping and spatial planning studies. Co-funding at the project level is being actively pursued to expand coverage.

Procurement

Suppliers' Contract Awards: To efficiently manage the procurement of specialist resource mapping services for projects funded under this initiative, ESMAP worked closely with the World Bank's Corporate Procurement department to run a competitive selection for the award of framework contracts.

These are open-ended, multi-year contracts for the provision of resource mapping services, allowing the World Bank to have a pre-approved list of 3-4 suppliers for each renewable energy resource covered -except biomass- and reducing the procurement time for each project.

The competitive selection process was run between January-April 2013, with contracts signed in June 2013.

The firms awarded with framework contracts are as follows:

For biomass, ESMAP is working closely with bioenergy experts in the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) to determine how best to move forward in this area.

Vendors interested in supplying resource mapping or data collection services under sub-contract should approach the above vendors directly. All procurement of resource mapping services under the ESMAP-funded projects is expected to be via the holders of framework contracts.

Note that this does not cover procurement of services under Client-executed projects, for which further details can be obtained via the Operational Procurement section of the World Bank website.
