Highlands Water Project Phase II Hydropower - Contract LHDA No 3010. The Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project Phase II Hydropower Feasibility: Further Studies, and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services. The consulting services ("the Services") are in two parts: (i) Pumped Storage Scheme Feasibility Study: A Feasibility Study has been carried out for the LHWP Phase II Hydropower Component which identified Kobong Pumped Storage Scheme (PSS) as the preferred option. This is foreseen as a 1200MW pumped storage scheme, utilizing the existing Katse Reservoir as the lower storage, with a new upper storage reservoir in the adjacent mountains, linked to the national grid in South Africa (Eskom). The scheme has been shown to be technically feasible Further Studies will include a review of the economic viability of the project, and if deemed viable, completion of the studies to 'bankable feasibility study' level. The scope includes but will not be limited to: Due diligence review of the existing Kobong Pumped Storage Scheme feasibility study; identification of any engineering, environmental, social or scope issues; confirmation of the cost estimates and implementation programme; Review of compliance with the South Africa Grid Code and Eskom system requirements; Technical review of alternative PSS, proposed by others in comparison with Kobong PSS on technical, cost and programme basis. Identifying the preferred scheme; Review of the Eskom studies and their assessment of the potential load factor for a new Pumped Storage Scheme; Economic evaluation of the proposed PSS, based on the existing PSS studies and the Eskom studies, sufficient to reach a conclusion on the economic viability of the project; Should the review indicate that the scheme is potentially viable, the following further studies will be carried out: Economic evaluation of the potential for new PSS in the SAPP: cost of off-peak energy, value of peaking power, PSS energy losses, viable capital costs of the new PSS development, economic viability of the proposed PSS; Institutional viability – operation and management of PSS located in Lesotho while integrated with the Eskom grid, Eskom corporate issues (reliance on a foreign asset to stabilize the Eskom grid), capacity in Lesotho to operate large PSS; Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) – legal, economic, financial and operational requirements. Negotiation of PPA with Eskom; Financing requirements, options to source finance, funding opportunities open to Lesotho, quantities of finance required and cash flow risks to Lesotho; Project development options – owner developed versus Independent Power Producer (IPP), contractual structures (e.g. Build Own Operate Transfer [BOOT] or similar systems); Geotechnical site investigation: tender documents for site investigation of Kobong PSS or other preferred site as appropriate. Procurement of geotechnical investigation contractor, supervision of investigations and preparation of factual and interpretive geotechnical reports; (ii) Conventional Hydropower Feasibility Studies: In order to increase Lesotho's capacity for electrical generation, conventional hydropower is required. The feasibility studies will review options within Phase II of the LHWP, potential for modification or addition to the Phase I works, and potential 'greenfield sites' where new hydropower could be developed and take viable options to full 'bankable feasibility study' level. The Further Studies will include: Review of the LHWP system and operating regime, identification of potential small or medium hydropower options within the existing system. Feasibility level study for each viable option, to concept design, costing and schedule. This will include the review of hydropower potential on the environmental releases (IFR) at each dam, the review of options to add hydropower at each transfer tunnel and the grid capacity; Review of options for the expansion of 'Muela hydropower station, by upgrading of the existing power station capacity and/or doubling the Transfer Tunnel, or by other means; Pre-feasibility screening study of potential hydropower options on the current LHWP system. Identification of favorable sites (if any), development to full feasibility study including Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA); Review of Lesotho generation system capacity and power demand, shortfall, value of any additional power and energy; Economic assessment of hydropower options, comparison with alternative energy sources (e.g. wind power); Financing requirements, options to source finance, funding opportunities open to Lesotho, quantities of finance required and cash-flow, risks to Lesotho; Project development options – owner developed versus Independent Power Producer (IPP), Build Own Operate Transfer and other such contractual structures; Geotechnical site investigation: prepare tender documents for site investigation of preferred sites. Procurement of geotechnical investigation contractor, supervision of investigations and preparation of factual and interpretive geotechnical reports.
