Ethiopia kickstarted the second round of its World Bank-led Scaling Solar programme with a 500MWac solar tender, while the first 250MWac round is still approaching the final proposal stage.

The Public-Private Partnerships Directorate General (PPP-DG) within the Ministry of Finance issued a Request for Pre-Qualification (RFQ) for the PV capacity on Wednesday and the deadline for application submissions is 29 May 2019. The next stage will involve a Request for Proposals (RFP) from pre-qualified bidders.
