The government has launched the Independent Transmission Projects (ITP) market sounding exercise, marking a critical step in transforming the country’s energy and infrastructure sectors. This request for information (RFI) is the first phase leading up to the ITP pilot tender planned for 2025.
The RFI exercise is looking to gather insights into the market’s interest, capabilities and potential solutions for accelerating transmission infrastructure development. The RFI will assist in the design of an effective procurement framework, inform the development of regulatory instruments and guide the preparation of the tender documents.
The RFI exercise is open to all interested parties, including private developers, financiers, development finance institutions, contractors and other interested stakeholders. Responses to the RFI will play a significant role in shaping the tender’s final structure and the ITP programme’s successful implementation.
