Zafarana 50 MW Grid Connected PV Power Plant
Egypt’s demand for electricity is growing rapidly because of rapid urbanisation and economic growth. The need to develop alternative power resources is becoming ever more urgent. Alternative energy options such as PV can help meet the increasing demand. NREA has set strategic targets to supply 20% of the electric energy demand form RE sources by the year 2022. In response to the government’s request, KfW cooperated with NREA on the identification and financing of a solar power plant with an installed capacity of 50 MW to be built in Zafarana.
NREA assigned intec to support their project implementation team and to supervise the PV plant procurement, construction as well as its operation and maintenance during the five year warranty period.

Georgia - Technical Assistance Project in Support of the Georgian Energy Sector Reform Programme (GESRP)
The project will support the reform of the Georgian electricity market to one that is strongly aligned with the EU’s internal electricity market. This means that the Project contributes to the implementation of a reform for the Georgian electricity market, in alignment with commitments made under Georgia´s accession to the En-ergy Community, into one that conforms to the EU´s Third Energy Package. In support of the reform, a tech-nical assistance package, i.e. this Project, was designed in order to support the Georgian energy sector’s de-velopment.
The Technical Assistance Measures (TAMs) are divided into four components:
Component 1: Energy efficiency regulation including standards
Component 2: Energy performance in buildings (EE in buildings)
Component 3: Renewable energy
Component 4: Power market regulation

Congo - Performance of Technical, Environmental and Social Studies and Monitoring the Implementation of the Prohydro Programme
The project consists of the financing, construction and operation of hydropower plants and the corresponding transmission lines up to the REGIDESO (state water utility) water supply and treatment facilities, potential large consumers and of the distribution network to individual customers (households) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) located near the sites. The hydropower plants will be partially financed by the private sector (IPP, PPP) under a power purchase agreement (PPA).
The objective, through UCM and the KfW bank, is to use the Tshilomba (3 MW), Tshala II (6 MW), and the Kafumbu (2 MW) projects as reference projects in order to improve the electricity supply to REGIDESO facilities as well as to the local population and industry by providing clean, renewable and reliable energy and reducing diesel fuel consumption.
For the 3 sites above existing feasibility studies will be updated, and preliminary ESIA, ESMP, resettlement framework and technical specifications for tender documents will be elaborated.
In addition, for 5 out of 12 preselected hydropower sites prefeasibility studies will be conducted.
As an option, assistance to UCM during the 24 months implementation period of the 3 sites in terms of technical, social and environmental aspects will be given.
