Power the ground before you build on it.
ECAHLI Global Holdings (KE) Ltd invites qualified EPC contractors, renewable energy developers and consortiums to design, supply, install, commission and operate solar microgrid systems across three flagship Kenya developments — issued under Phase I of the Global Procurement Programme.
Not a retrofit. A foundation.
None of the three sites currently has grid power. This tender establishes the energy backbone that every other phase of mobilisation — civil works, water systems, ICT, security, and eventually hospitality operations — depends on.
Three Nodes. One energy programme.
Required system sizing and indicative contract value by development.
| Development | Solar PV | Battery Storage | Est. Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tsavo Springs Reserve Luxury safari, wellness & aviation estate | 10MW – 15MW | 40MWh – 60MWh | €20M – €35M |
| Tiwi Bay Eco Resort Residences & wellness retreat | 5MW – 8MW | 20MWh – 35MWh | €10M – €20M |
| Malindi Ngomeni Eco Coast Coastal living, marina & blue economy | 8MW – 12MW | 30MWh – 50MWh | €18M – €30M |
