Tender description
The objective of the Framework Agreement is to enhance the ocean data assimilation for climate applications in the context of C3S reanalysis activities. Specific developments include the treatment of model error to provide temporal consistency in the ocean estimation, solutions for scalable ensemble using multigrid capability, improved flow dependent formulation of background error, especially important for the assimilation of surface variables. The contract also involves bringing past developments on stochastic physics and 4D-var to the most recent version of the ocean and sea ice model

4Copernicus C3S2 520 Quality Assurance for Datasets in the Climate Data Store
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)BonnThe objective of the Framework Agreement is to enhance the quality and efficiency of the C3S Evaluation and Quality Control (EQC) function through the delivery of an efficient and timely quality assurance of C3S climate datasets. The final goal is to facilitate users in the dataset selection and the self-assessment fitness-for-purpose of the selected datasets. The contract will continue the EQC effort addressed in previous EQC contracts during Copernicus 1, evolve the existing EQC concepts and infrastructure already put in place, and further consolidate, harmonise and streamline the entire framework, including its methodologies, procedures and outputs.Copernicus C3S2 314 Support for Climate Reanalysis including Satellite Data Rescue
European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)BolognaThe main objective of the Framework Agreement is to recover, archive and assess a set of early satellite data records from the late 1960s and 1970s. The primary applications using the data will be future C3S reanalyses, and in the generation of climate data records for Essential Climate Variables.International Consultancy for the Development of off-grid Renewable Energy Projects Lot 2
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbHEschbornShort Project Description: Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) NESP is currently in its third phase (June 2023 - May 2027) and still funded by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The programme is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in collaboration with Nigeria"s Federal Ministry of Power. Its core objective is to foster investments in domestic renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) markets while improving electricity access for disadvantaged, mostly rural communities, including those in conflict-affected areas. Background With a fast-growing population now estimated at 227 million, Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa. With only 60% of Nigeria"s population connected to the main grid, the rest remains unconnected. Power supply shortages do not only affect the living standards of Nigerians, but also the competitiveness of Nigeria"s businesses and industries. In most cases, Nigerians resort to expensive and polluting captive diesel generation to satisfy their power needs. As a result, Nigeria has become one of the largest markets for diesel generators in the world. With its huge natural and fossil resources, Nigeria is Africa's energy giant and energy exports are essential for the Nigerian economy transition. However, due to the destabilisation of oil prices there is an increasing interest by Nigeria to accelerate the energy transition by increasing investments in sustainable energy. The Energy Transition Plan (ETP) that was adopted in February 2022 provides an ambitious, long-term strategy for the energy transition. It builds on the Sustainable Energy for ALL (SEforALL) Action Agenda and its Vision 30:30:30, setting the target to increase power generation capacity to 30 gigawatts (GW) and the RE share in the electricity mix to 30% until 2030. Important climate policy documents, particularly the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the National Policy on Climate Change, have been updated to show a higher level of ambition. Despite reforms in the past decade, Nigeria"s energy sector still faces significant challenges. On-grid generation is limited by weak transmission infrastructure, while the distribution side suffers from DisCos" liquidity crises and high technical and commercial losses. Electricity demand is estimated at 30,000 MW, compared to an average peak generation of 5,000 MW. To address these gaps, the Nigerian government passed the Electricity Act, 2023, repealing the Electric Power Sector Reforms Act, 2005. The Act decentralises the electricity market, empowering state governments to establish State Electricity Markets (SEMs). It prioritises RE deployment and aims to attract private investment into the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI). Several states are already setting up SEMs, but most lack the tools, skills, and resources to implement them effectively. Therefore, NESP is providing targeted technical support that will focus on the following key output indicators: On-grid (Premium Grids) Output indicators: 1. Identification and mapping of suitable areas for premium grid projects in cooperation with DisCos 2. Promote awareness and experiences with an implemented premium grid project with RE generation component 3. Support to DisCos to develop and implement economically sound business models and project implementation plans, network analysis and develop contractual documents Framework (Energy Transition Policy and State Electricity Market support) 1. new or improved laws, regulations or instrumetns to acheive the energy policy goals prioritised in the Nigerian Energy transition plan (e.g, energy access, renewable energy 2. Support 5 states on their respective State Electiricty Market through the development of policies, laws, or instruments to advance RE investment. Tasks of the contractor: Work package 1: Premium Grids (On-grid) This work package aims to support DisCos in identifying and mapping suitable sites for premium grids which include the use of NESP developed data-based tools as well as selecting and cooperating with RE developers for their implementation. The following activities are planned under this work package: 1. Development of pre-feasibility studies and support with tenders for premium grid projects 2. Technical assessment and analysis of identified premium grid projects. 3. Legal and transactional support for premium grid projects 4. Technical supervision and advisory services on project execution in the field. Work Package 2: Framework and Policy Development Support This work package aims to provide support for adaptive, flexible, demand-driven policy and regulatory framework development for selected subsectors covered by the ETP, with regards to EE and RE. The following activities are planned under this work package: 1. Technical support to NERC, State governments, NEMSA on the development of regulatory and investment framework to support RE and grid connected RE projects in Nigeria 2. Development of training materials and capacity building for the selected government partners.International Consultancy for the Development of off-grid Renewable Energy Projects Lot 2
