A Sri Lankan renewable energy developer is planning to develop a 20 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Myanmar. RMA conducted a pre-feasibility study for the proposed power plant. Assessment of solar resource, preparation of conceptual design, capacity optimization, studying grid interconnection options and assessing financial viability were covered in the pre-feasibility study.
With the objective of developing solar PV systems to generate electricity for the use of its cement manufacturing facilities in South Vietnam, Siam City Cement (Vietnam) Limited (INSEE) initiated a procurement process for solar PV systems. RMA was engaged by INSEE to assist in preparation of bid documents and to oversee the bidding process. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was prepared by RMA. RMA provided recommendations after evaluating technical and financial aspects of received bids.
RMA provided consultancy services to Asian Development Bank (ADB) to conduct due diligence of Dhaka and Western Zone Transmission Grid Expansion Project. The total project cost is $ 730 million and the debt component will be cofinanced by ADB and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Under this Project Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) will construct 15 substations (400/230 kV, 230/132 kV, 230/22 kV and 132/33 kV), 12 transmission lines (392 km) and 10 Line-In Line-Out connections (16 km).
RMA conducted the technical, economic and financial assessment of each project component. A Resettlement Plan and an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report were prepared covering social and environmental safeguard due diligence.
Iluka Lanka Resources Ltd. (Iluka) is studying the infrastructure requirements for development of the Puttalam Quarry deposit to facilitate extraction of Ilmenite. The high voltage infrastructure including power supply source and the interconnection facilities is a key element of this project.
RMA conducted a pre feasibility for Iluka to assess the technical and financial feasibility of available grid connection options as well as alternative electricity supply options including relevant regulatory provisions for investment sharing and licensing. The conceptual design including detailed cost estimates were provided for the selected grid connection option.
The Grand Hotel is a historic landmark and one of the prominent tourist hotels in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka. To identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption of the Hotel, an energy audit was commissioned by the Hotel management. This energy audit was assigned to RMA, which offered to conduct the energy audit as a training exercise for its engineering trainees. RMA studied feasibility of energy serving options related to both electricity and thermal energy supply and utilization.
