Regulator seeks Technical Adviser for Sahim 2 rooftop PV programme

Further to the recent Expressions of Interest to provide and operate an integrated risk management system, the Authority for Electricity Regulation has issued a Request for Proposal to appoint an experienced Technical Adviser to provide input to the Authority’s planning, execution and technical/financial modelling of the Sahim 2 Rooftop PV Initiative.

The Authority has identified areas of expertise expected from well qualified technical advisors for provision of services and advice for renewable energy projects and specifically privately funded domestic PV rooftop schemes.

Hilal bin Mohammed al Ghaithi (pictured), Manager of Sahim Renewable Energy Initiative commented: “Sahim 2 aims to drive the widescale deployment of small PV systems at residential premises in Oman.

The technical advisor will be responsible for supporting each project phase by providing recommendations on residential rooftop PV technologies, components and manufacturers compatible with the outline designs and models of expected output, performance characteristics and costs of Outline Design PV systems.

The reputable technical advisor will also support the bid evaluation process by evaluating economic and technical merits of the bid submissions in the procurement phase and ensure that systems operate according to regulatory and compliance requirements, and are fit for specific residential premises.”
