New clarification added: Question: Will ETP / Ministry of Planning and Investment facilitate networks with the industrial park for data collection? We may also require an NDA to obtain data from the park and specifically with the industries to establish the energy profile. We understand that the Ministry of Planning and Investment is being integrated within Ministry of Finance in few months. This poses a risk as we will not have a focal point. Does ETP have a view if the focal point will remain the same for the entire project?Answer: The focal point will remain the same. The selected bidder will get the support from the beneficiary and UNOPS to attain the necessary data. However, the consultant is still required to conduct necessary stakeholder engagement.
