PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is supporting GRIDCO, Government of Odisha, to advance floating solar photovoltaic (FSPV) deployment in alignment with the Odisha Renewable Energy Policy 2022. Through statewide scoping, pilot-site techno-commercial assessments, and focused investor outreach, this assignment will move Odisha’s FSPV pipeline from opportunity identification to procurement readiness, in alignment with the following objectives:
• Objective A: State-Wide Scoping Study: Identify 4–5 high-potential reservoirs—with emphasis on minor reservoirs to complement ongoing studies—and recommend two pilot reservoirs of approximately 50 MW FSPV each.
• Objective B: Preliminary Techno-Commercial Assessment (PTCA): For the two shortlisted reservoirs, deliver preliminary array layouts, anchoring/mooring concepts, grid evacuation options (incl. 33 kV collection to nearest substation), baseline E&S screening, and first-cut techno-economics (CAPEX/ OPEX, P50 yield, LCOE ranges) to inform decision-making, permitting, and tender preparation.
• Objective C: Investor Outreach (as agreed with GRIDCO): Prepare an investor-ready pitch deck and facilitate a focused round-table/ roadshow to seed market interest in Odisha’s FSPV pipeline and support subsequent procurement steps.

ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVE:
Under this Request for Proposals, GGGI is seeking to engage a competent consulting firm to support Odisha’s floating solar (FSPV) pipeline from opportunity identification to procurement readiness through statewide scoping, pilot-site techno-commercial assessments, and investor outreach.
