Brunei’s Ministry of Energy has published a tender for five grid-connected solar energy installations in five government buildings.
The tender notice says the work will include the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the solar systems to be built on the roofs and carports of five government buildings in northeastern Brunei Muara district. The selected developer will also have to determine the achievable PV power per building.
The tender is open to local and international companies. Interested bidders can collect the tender document until June 9, before the application deadline of June 23. The tender also carries a non-refundable fee of BND 1,000 ($776.85).
Brunei had a cumulative solar capacity of 6 MW at the end of last year, according to figures published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), an increase of 1 MW from figures from the previous year. The country has set itself the goal of including 30% sustainable energy in its electricity mix by 2035.
Last June, pv magazine reported that a 30 MW solar project is under development in Brunei. A 25-year power purchase agreement has been signed with the country’s government.
