Namibia: Consulting services for Get FiT bush-to-electricity programme

The Ministry of Mines and Energy has invited bids by 6 March from consultants to carry out a feasibility study to develop an approach and a business and market model for bush-to-electricity (BtE) projects. BtE aims to generate energy by burning biomass from de-bushing operations to clear invasive bush species. The contract for the Global Energy Transfer Feed-in Tariffs (Get FiT) BtE programme is to be financed within the framework of German financial cooperation with Namibia and has a budget of €250,000 ($311,000).
