KfW Development Bank exercises options for GET FiT Zambia with Multiconsult

Reference is made to the stock market announcement on 7 May 2018 where Multiconsult announced a contract award with KfW Development Bank for GET FiT Zambia.

KfW Development Bank has exercised options for the second phase of the contract. The options value is approximately NOK 22 million. Multiconsult is tasked with the implementation of the GET FiT hydropower procurement (100 MW), as well as follow-ups and supervision. The optional services are extending the project duration from originally three years to now approximately six years.

The contract with KfW on the GET FiT Programme in Zambia follows the successful assignment for KfW on the similar programme in Uganda. The assignment involves a cross-disciplinary team from several departments of Multiconsult’s Energy unit. It provides the team with work for the next five years ahead, and will help establish a strong position in Zambia.

The project will be run from Multiconsult's office in Oslo and through a local project office in Zambia. Multiconsult established a branch in Zambia, which serves as the Secretariat of the Programme – and has now two permanent employees in Lusaka.
