Expression of Interest For Enhancing Energy Resilience To Climate Risks In Solomon Islands

Expression of Interest are invited for Enhancing Energy Resilience to Climate Risks in Solomon Islands This assignment seeks to develop an energy resilience investment and technical assistance plan that power utilities and country decision makers in Solomon Islands can use to leverage financing for enhancing adaptation to climate change and natural disaster events. The scope of work includes two inter-related sub-assignments; climate risks assessment and energy system vulnerabilities assessment and resilience investment plan development. The climate risks assessment aims to identify high priority hazard prone areas within power infrastructure and to provide engineering-grade hazard assessment to map out the natural hazards which contains tropical cyclone, flooding and earthquake in the pre-identified high priority areas. The energy system vulnerabilities assessment and resilience investment plan development is (i) to conduct the energy infrastructure vulnerability assessment pertinent to climate-related hazards identified in the climate risks assessment, (ii) identify potential climate resilience measures and (iii) formulate energy resilience investment and technical assistance plan in the Solomon Islands. The assignments will involve conducting consultations with key stakeholders including the World Bank, country stakeholders and relevant partners.
