This solicitation is for a battery-based electrical energy storage system to serve as the primary energy source for Providencia Island, Colombia. The system will include cells, modules, battery racks, inverters, a battery management system, control, monitoring, protection and communication systems, auxiliary battery services, and a SCADA system to integrate the battery energy storage system into the island's hybrid system. The contractor will participate in developing a 1.8 MWp solar power plant project on Providencia Island, which is part of the Archipelago of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina overseas department of Colombia. In addition to incorporating the battery storage system, the project involves connecting it to a substation adjacent to the solar power station to optimize integration of the solar plant with the island's two 1,400 kW and one 750 kW existing diesel generator sets. The battery system must deliver 2.5 MWh of capacity to the island's electric system for a minimum of one hour. The US Agency for International Development Colombia issued the solicitation.
