Discover critical information about the Paramaribo PV Energy Storage Project bidding process, including technical requirements, market trends, and strategic advantages for global energy developers.

Why This Project Matters for Renewable Energy Investors

The Paramaribo PV Energy Storage Project represents a $120 million initiative to stabilize Suriname''s power grid using solar energy and advanced battery systems. With global energy storage investments projected to grow by 18% annually through 2030 (BloombergNEF), this project offers:

• Integration of 50 MW solar capacity with 80 MWh lithium-ion storage
• Grid stability solutions for tropical climate challenges
• 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Surinamese government

Key Bid Requirements and Technical Specifications

Proposals must comply with the following benchmarks:

Criteria	Minimum Threshold
Battery Cycle Life	6,000 cycles @ 80% DoD
Round-Trip Efficiency	≥92%
Local Content Commitment	30% workforce localization
