Funded by a USTDA grant, Rev-Up Solar Ventures engaged Bates White, who subcontracted K&M Advisors to support a feasibility study for the development of a 200 MW Solar PV + Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) power plant in Solwezi, Zambia. The project aims to supply clean, reliable electricity to Zambia’s industry and households and potentially […]
K&M Advisors was engaged by the World Bank to develop a comprehensive framework aimed at facilitating private sector participation in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Kenya. This study supports the Government of Kenya (GoK) in advancing the country’s evolving energy landscape. With Kenya’s growing reliance on renewable energy sources—particularly geothermal, wind, and solar—the integration […]
The World Bank engaged K&M Advisors to assess the conceptual role and economic viability of Pumped Hydropower Storage (PHS) within the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP). The objective of the study was to identify and quantify the costs, benefits, and overall value of PHS in enhancing energy security, improving climate resilience, and supporting a low-carbon […]
K&M was engaged by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) on a Definitional Mission (DM) to aid in decision-making processes related to funding activities that enhance the pipeline development for the Alliance for Green Infrastructure (AGIA) in sub-Saharan Africa. The mission is centered on identifying and evaluating potential green infrastructure projects in diverse sectors […]
Biomass power generation is an attractive option for the Mauritian island grid because it offers dispatchable generation, uses agricultural waste as fuel, and has lower emissions than fossil fuel technologies. The climate rationale to transition the Omnicane Independent Power Producer (IPP) to 100% biomass is even stronger because it will displace CO2-intensive coal generation with […]
In accordance with the provisions of Article 15.1 of the BirAllah Exploration and Production Contract between bp and the Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Energy of Mauritania (MPME), a collaborative examination must be carried out by the MPME and bp. The purpose of this examination is to evaluate the local natural gas (gas) outlets and […]
Funded by a USTDA grant, GreenCo enlisted the services of K&M to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for the proposed development and implementation of a battery energy storage system pilot (BESS Pilot) with a capacity ranging from 10 to 25 MW and energy storage capacity of 40 to 100 MWh. Additionally, the study aimed to […]
K&M was contracted by Guinéenne d’Energie (GDE) to perform a pre-feasibility study for a new gas-fired power plant project in Conakry. The objective of this assignment is to identify the size and timing of gas-fired capacity additions that are economically justified in the Guinean grid, estimate the economically justified electricity generation using natural gas and resulting […]
The Government of Kenya intended to create a domestic natural gas market for power generation and industrial use with the aim of diversifying the country’s energy mix, improving energy security, reducing the cost of electricity, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The primary objective of the project was to conduct a feasibility study for the development […]
Vivo Energy is considering developing an LNG import terminal in Kamsar or Conakry to supply LNG by road to mines or other energy-intensive industries in Guinea (the “Project”). Using LNG rather than diesel or Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) could reduce energy costs to these mines and industries. As an initial step, Vivo, working alongside the […]
