The Ministry of Energy and the Public Establishment of Transmission and Distribution of Electricity (PETDE) in Syria, in collaboration with the World Bank, wish to invite the interested consultants to a workshop to present the Syria Electricity Emergency Project (SEEP), funded by the World Bank. This workshop aims to gauge market appetite, analyze feasibility, and refine the design of the Owner’s Engineer package to ensure its success.  

The SEEP aims to address the urgent need for rehabilitating Syria's damaged electricity infrastructure, which has been severely impacted by years of conflict. The project, funded by the World Bank, focuses on three main components: the rehabilitation of selected high-voltage transmission lines, the restoration of selected high-voltage transformer substations, and the provision of technical assistance for sector development and institutional capacity building. By rehabilitating critical transmission infrastructure, SEEP seeks to enable electricity imports from neighboring countries, reduce technical losses, and improve the overall reliability of Syria's electricity network. 

Additionally, SEEP includes a fourth component for project implementation support, which involves hiring an international consulting firm to provide Owner’s Engineer (OE) services for PETDE for contracts management, including technical and environmental and social (E&S) supervision to ensure contractors’ compliance with the Bank’s E&S requirements set forth in the project contracts, the environmental and social commitment plan (ESCP), and other E&S instruments. The project also emphasizes capacity building for the Public Establishment for Transmission and Distribution of Electricity (PETDE) and the Ministry of Energy (MoE), aiming to enhance their technical, operational, and financial performance.
