ZESCO Limited is finalizing consultancy contracts for survey of grid lines in the central region. Procurement of one million Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) has been completed, and ZESCO is preparing their distribution. The Rural Electrification Authority (REA) has issued the Request for Proposals (RFPs) for implementation of three Sustainable Solar Market Packages (SSMPs), and the request for expressions of interest (REIs) for three more SSMPs. REA has also issued RFPs for feasibility studies for three mini-hydro projects. Since procurement has been generally slow primarily due to the long lead times required for the turn-key procurement arrangements for intensification and grid extension that were originally adopted, the project was restructured to introduce more flexibility in the implementation options to expedite procurement and increase disbursements. The restructuring also provided US$20 million additional financing - including US$10 million in Crisis Response Widow (CRW) funds - to (1) fix/upgrade two overloaded substations in Lusaka and Livingstone areas to avert looming power failures; and (ii) help reduce the cost of grid-connection for about 30,00 low income households in project target areas. The restructuring was done through an additional financing approved by the Board on September 22, 2010, and became effective in February 2011. ZESCO and REA project staff have received Procurement, financial management, and project management training to improve their performance.
