An amendment published by The New Times on 22 October moves the prequalification deadline from 12 to 26 November 2026, following applicants’ requests. The project also includes infrastructure to transmit the generated electricity to the power network.

The project: Energy Development Corporation Limited, a subsidiary of Rwanda Energy Group, is seeking an independent power producer to develop a floating solar plant, a battery energy storage system, and associated electricity evacuation infrastructure at Lake Sake in Ngoma District. Selection will follow Rwanda’s public-private partnership guidelines. The published notices do not disclose an estimated investment value.

Who can participate: The original prequalification notice invites interested, eligible, and qualified independent power producers to apply. Applicants must meet administrative, technical and financial requirements set out in detailed documents available through Rwanda Energy Group. This stage focuses on selecting qualified developers; it does not award a construction contract.

Dates and next steps: The amendment reschedules the site visit from 23 October to 5 November, departing at 10 am local time from Bugesera District office, replacing the originally announced departure point in Ngoma. Applications are due by 4:30 pm Rwanda time on 26 November, with opening scheduled for 5pm. The amended timetable supersedes the earlier dates still displayed in the newspaper portal’s listing labels.

For Egyptian public and private companies, the project offers a potential avenue to cooperate with Rwandan partners in renewable-energy development, engineering, and electrical equipment supply. Qualified developers could explore consortium participation, while contractors and manufacturers could consider roles in construction, grid connections, and equipment provision, subject to the project’s requirements and subsequent procurement arrangements.
