Nala municipality seeks bids for an energy efficiency project
Efficiency can enhance the competitiveness of economies while helping to alleviate energy poverty as energy becomes more available
The Nala local municipality in the Free State is inviting bidders to submit their bids for the appointment of a service provider to implement Energy Efficiency And Demand Side Management (EEDSM) within the Nala local municipality for a period of 3 years, subject to the availability of funds from the National Treasury.
There will be a compulsory briefing session on 3 October 2025, at 10am, at Nala Local Municipality, 8 Preller Street, Bothaville.
The overall objective of the proposed project is to track and monitor progress against the national target for energy in the public sector through the implementation of energy-saving interventions and the establishment of a comprehensive monitoring system.
Energy efficiency is widely recognised as the most fundamental short-run imperative for a rapid, ambitious and cost-effective, least-polluting and readily available energy source. More than half of the electricity-sector-related carbon emissions reduction target for the coming twenty years could be achieved through energy efficiency.
Efficiency can enhance the competitiveness of economies while helping to alleviate energy poverty as energy becomes more available.
Energy productivity gains will lower the cost for the economy as a whole, enhance the supply security and reduce the need to develop new sources of energy supply to serve those without access to modern energy services for health and education enhancement.
Accelerated energy efficiency can also create attractive green jobs and businesses.
Scope of work
Proposals for the provision of energy management services are requested for planning, preliminary design, detailed design, drafting installation specifications, installation, monitoring, reporting, supervision, monitoring and successful completion of the energy efficiency and demand-side management project.
Proposals are requested for the appointment of the rendering of full professional services for the electricity department within the boundaries of the Nala local municipality.
The project is located in and around the jurisdiction of Nala local municipality for the following municipal infrastructure:
- Street Lighting and High Mast Public Lighting
- Municipal buildings/facilities
- Municipal water and wastewater treatment plants
The exact location of the project and selected infrastructure will be specified subject to discussion between the municipality and the successful bidder upon appointment.
