Germany – Energy and related services – 10034737-Expert Pool Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for Municipalities in Algeria

The contract aims to support the implementation of Outputs 1 and 2 of the Green Municipalities II Project by strengthening the technical, institutional and operational capacities of six pilot wilayas and 30 pilot municipalities in the fields of municipal energy management and sustainable urban services. The contract will combine smart city strategic planning, implementation of pilot measures and capacity building in order to establish an integrated framework for sustainable and data-driven municipal management.
The assignment will be structured around three complementary Work Packages.

Work Package 01 - Smart City Concept Development
The contractor will conduct an international benchmark of at least three smart city models, focusing on smart city strategies, governance models and urban management practices implemented by municipalities worldwide. The benchmark will cover relevant areas including energy efficiency, smart public lighting, renewable energy integration, smart mobility, waste management, green spaces and urban services. Innovative technologies, operational approaches and financing mechanisms applicable to local authorities will also be assessed.
Based on this assessment, the contractor will evaluate international smart city technologies and urban solutions that could be adapted to the Algerian context. An integrated smart city concept will then be developed for two pilot municipalities. The concept will address, among other areas, public lighting, rooftop solar PV monitoring, smart public services, green spaces, urban furniture, waste management and energy-efficient public buildings. Conceptual schemes, solution architectures, expected benefits and implementation approaches will be prepared for at least seven pilot projects. Short-, medium- and long-term priority actions will also be defined.
The Work Package will also include the organization and coordination of one to three international study tours for local stakeholders and partner institutions,...
