General procurement notice for Design, supply, and installation (DSI) of battery energy storage equipment (estimated cost: US$131 million). Component 2 involves the supply and installation of a 205 MWh Battery Energy Storage equipment to provide frequency control to the WAPP power system. It will include all the elements required to connect the system to the 225-kV busbar of the substation. The equipment will be installed in three substations in Côte d’Ivoire (105 MWh), in one substation in Mali (80 MWh) and in one substation in Niger (20 MWh). The equipment will be operated by the national utilities following the WAPP Operation Manual to establish national and regional priorities. To build resilience to climate risks, climate change will be considered for the sizing and design of the equipment and protective infrastructure will be considered such as floodwalls, levees, berms, barriers, and fire protection systems.
