| Overview : UNDP Vietnam is seeking for 01 qualified Vietnamese firm/institute/organization for Development of end-of-life solutions for solar photovoltaics and wind power systems in Viet Nam. (Ref. 2-200902) Viet Nam is among the fastest growing economies in the world, but its economic growth is characterized by a high energy and carbon intensity. Viet Nam’s GHG emissions are projected to increase threefold by 2030 compared to 2010 level and hence, the Government of Viet Nam has encouraged climate change mitigation alongside economic growth. The Government of Viet Nam ratified the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change and also adopted the Plan for Implementation of the Paris Agreement. The updated NDC was approved by the Government of Viet Nam in July 2020 with the greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 9 percent unconditionally and up to 27 percent with international support to be achieved by year 2030 compared to the business as usual. The objective of the assignment is to i) conduct an assessment of the flow of materials and waste generated during the operation and end of life stage of photovoltaic and wind generation plants in Vietnam, and to ii) propose a solution for the reuse, recycling and management of such materials and wastes, taking into account the international experiences and expected life of the PV and WP plants, the specific Vietnamese trend of renewable energy generation and the presence and needs of infrastructure in Vietnam for the re-processing and disposal of the material and waste generated. The selection will be based on a competitive basis and will comply with UNDP procurement regulations. Request for Proposal with enclosed TOR and evaluation criteria as well as Submission forms are attached. Submission deadline: Sunday, 20 September 2020 (Hanoi time) |
