Suriname tenders solar-storage minigrids

SolarNews Brief

Suriname’s public utility EBS has opened a tender for solar-storage minigrids and water infrastructure serving remote rural communities. The procurement is split across indigenous and Matawai community lots, with bids due on October 30.

The tender covers design, supply and installation of solar PV, battery storage and water systems under the Bio-Sweet program, jointly managed by Suriname and the Inter-American Development Bank. One lot targets 10 indigenous communities and 11 energy and water systems over 30 months, while the second covers five clusters serving 16 Matawai communities over 24 months. The program matters because rural electricity access still trails urban coverage, and many remote villages remain dependent on diesel generation.
