➜ 2 full-time Key Experts and a team of Non-Key Experts, with a total input of 990 days
➜ 8 outputs grouped in 3 pillars: Institutional Strengthening and Governance Systems, Operational Performance and System-Level Service Delivery, and Investment Readiness and Project Preparation
One of the most notable outputs is a minimum of two feasibility studies for small to medium-scale hydropower plants, with a total generation capacity of 50 MW. Study sites will be selected in coordination and agreement with the organisation and the EU.
At NTU, we look forward to delivering this project successfully, building on our experience in Technical Assistance projects in the energy sector.
