Project description

The European Commission, Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA), is tendering a 24-month service contract with an estimated value of EUR 2 million to establish the Caribbean Electricity Integrator Facility (CEIF). The facility will provide integrated technical, engineering and transaction-advisory support to advance priority electricity-integration investments in the Caribbean from analysis and project identification towards investment and tender readiness.

The specific objective is to validate regional electricity-interconnection options and prepare, through an integrator approach, a St Kitts and Nevis-anchored Northern Corridor package that can reach at least tender or contracting readiness where feasible. The initial focus includes the interconnection between St Kitts and Nevis and the associated generation, grid and enabling infrastructure required for a viable integrated electricity system. The assignment will also assess potential extension towards Antigua and Barbuda and other Northern Leeward receiving/readiness nodes, subject to technical, economic and commercial validation.

The contractor will assess technical, economic, financial, legal, commercial, environmental, social, institutional and procurement dimensions, and develop viable business, financing, risk-allocation and procurement structures for priority investments. The work will also develop a scale-up and replication mechanism for a wider pipeline of Caribbean electricity-integration investments. The geographical focus includes Caribbean partner countries covered by the EU-Caribbean Cooperation Facility, and, where relevant, Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories and French Outermost Regions. The final scope of subsequent corridors will be determined through the analysis.
