This solicitation is for a Providencia Island Solar Power Plant Project in Colombia. The project will manufacture or procure a battery-based electrical energy storage system to serve as the primary energy source for Providencia Island. 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, battery energy storage system, and power management system to incorporate the island's existing generators into the electrical grid. The battery storage system must have a 2.5 MWh delivery capacity to the electric system for a minimum of one hour. The system will support interoperability of energy sources, reduce load oscillation, provide primary frequency regulation, and ensure resilience during emergencies. It must supply up to 1.8 MW of the island's peak demand for one hour, enable black starts, and continuously regulate voltage for 13.2 kV grids. The soliciting agency is the US Agency for International Development Colombia.
