Competitive Power Procurement

Positioning Investors for Success in Government-Led Power Procurements

At Power Investment Incubation Limited (PIIL), we provide strategic and legal advisory to private sector players bidding in competitive procurement programs for new power generation projects across Africa. As governments increasingly adopt transparent, auction-based mechanisms to procure electricity, the success of prospective bidders hinges on their ability to navigate legal, regulatory, commercial, and technical complexities with precision.

Our services are tailored to support Independent Power Producers (IPPs), infrastructure developers, financial sponsors, and technical consortiums pursuing grid-scale power projects through government-led solicitations—whether under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) frameworks, feed-in tariff programs, or unsolicited proposal windows converted to competitive tenders.

We help clients respond credibly and competitively to Request for Qualifications (RFQs) and Request for Proposals (RFPs), by providing end-to-end transaction advisory across the bidding lifecycle:

• Bid strategy development and consortium structuring.

• Legal and regulatory due diligence on project site, grid access, and permitting.

• Review and alignment of model Project Agreements (PPA, GSA, IA, PCOA).

• Risk assessment and bankability advisory.

• Support in securing letters of support, sovereign guarantees, or credit enhancements.

• Stakeholder engagement and representation with government agencies and transaction advisers.

• Legal support during negotiations with off-takers and finalization of project agreements.

Our deep familiarity with procurement rules, policy expectations, and typical project risks allows us to guide clients toward commercially sound, compliant, and winning bids.

Whether participating in solar auctions, gas IPP tenders, or hybrid procurements, we help clients compete with confidence and clarity.
