The Vanuatu Rural Electrification Project (VREP) is a key initiative to increase energy access in the rural communities of Vanuatu through the deployment of renewable energy systems. The VREP is being undertaken in two stages. The first stage (VREP I) involved subsidizing ‘plug and play’ solar home systems (SHS) for remote dispersed rural households. The second stage (VREP II) involves extending the subsidies to larger technician-installed SHS and micro grids together with the development of up to five (5) mini grids in rural communities of Vanuatu. Under VREP II, TTA’s assignment consists of providing full owner’s engineering services for the end-to-end delivery of up to 5 mini grids. The scope of work includes activities related to: identification and selection of locations/sites, conceptual design and functional specifications, environmental & social safeguards arrangement, regulatory aspects, bid documents and supervision of construction and commissioning, among others.
