The Government of Ghana through its Ministry of Energy is looking to carry out its first 150MW - 200MW utility scale Solar photovoltaic (PV) auction; as solar PV represents the least cost option for power generation due to declining costs and fast installation. This project is expected to be developed in partnership between the Volta River Authority (VRA); which is the state-owned power generation company; and private developers. Whilst the VRA will be responsible for the provision of the solar project site; the appropriate transaction structure (i.e. the nature of the partnership; project responsibilities; profit sharing; off-taker and contractual structure; etc.) is yet to be designed. VRA has already identified the land at Loagri in Ghana (in the North-East) for building / auctioning the solar plant; approximately 72 km from GRIDCo’s 330/225/161 kV Nayagnia Substation. Government of Ghana is seeking World Bank support to design an appropriate transaction structure for potential solar auctions in Ghana; as a pre-cursor to the transaction. World Bank; through this Terms of Reference; intends to invite firms for conducting the pre-feasibility analysis for solar PV in Ghana.
