Request for Information (RFI) on USAID New Energy Activity in Central Asia

USAID Central Asia is seeking industry feedback through this Request for Information to inform the design of an anticipated new energy activity focused on modernizing energy infrastructure, increasing private sector investment in clean energy, and establishing an integrated regional electricity market in Central Asia. Responses should provide recommendations on how to structure assistance to reform and modernize the energy sectors of Central Asian countries in line with objectives to increase regional interconnectivity, promote renewable energy, catalyze energy efficiency investment, and increase market transparency. All responses must be submitted by December 12, 2023 and may be used for planning purposes. Organizational experience relevant to the potential activity should also be described.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. It involves work in Kazakhstan under NAICS code 2211—Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution. No current contractors or incumbents were identified. As this is an RFI with no attached funding, there are no details provided on potential award values, budgets, or timelines for services. Place of performance will be in Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries.
