Description: The World Bank seeks to hire a firm or consortium of firms (the Consultant) to conduct an energy storage market assessment and analyze options to create a battery storage manufacturing industry in South Africa (the Study).
The Study will identify and assess market opportunities along the entire value chain. That is, from mineral sourcing and extraction to manufacturing, commercialization, operations, maintenance, disposal, and recycling of the batteries. Ultimately, it would recommend short- to medium-term actions to accelerate the creation of a viable, competitive, and sustainable battery industry in the country.
The Consultant should have adequate skills and capabilities relevant to the assignment, a track record in conducting similar studies in developing countries, a global footprint, and a presence in South Africa.
