Announcement Description
About CAPRED
The CAPRED Facility is Australia's flagship bilateral economic development program in Cambodia, focusing on economic recovery and resilience over the next five years, with a possible three-year extension. The Facility supports Cambodia in implementing a range of important economic reforms to support the country's economic transition. These interventions and reforms aim to encourage more productive and inclusive public and private investment, promoting a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy.
About the Project
Through its Climate Resilience Portfolio, CAPRED supports Cambodia to close climate finance gaps by mobilising public and private capital for climate adaptation and mitigation investments. This includes support to commercially viable businesses seeking concessional green finance through the Cambodia Climate Finance Facility (CCFF), which requires a minimum 20% verified energy saving against an agreed baseline as a condition of eligibility.
CAPRED is supporting a private sector borrower developing a greenfield rice milling facility in Cambodia ("the Facility") that is seeking CCFF financing on this basis. An independent, design-stage energy efficiency assessment has established a baseline and design-case energy performance for the Facility. A summary of the Facility and the design-stage assessment is provided at Annex 1 (Project Information). For reasons of commercial confidentiality, the borrower's name and other site-identifying details are withheld from this RFP and will be provided to the successful applicant prior to assignment start.
Energy efficiency financing requires credible evidence that projected savings are actually realised. Independent commissioning, measurement, and verification services help confirm that installed equipment is ready to perform as designed and that actual operating performance meets or exceeds the design energy performance target, supporting CAPRED's, the lender's, and the CCFF's due diligence, monitoring, and reporting requirements.
