Tetra Tech is the implementer of the Moldova Energy Security Activity (MESA) which is a 4-year project funded by the United States Agency for International Development. The objective of the Moldova Energy Security Activity (MESA) is to strengthen Moldova’s energy security by: (1) advancing physical and market integration of the Moldovan energy sector with Europe; (2) increasing renewable energy integration; and (3) increasing investment in energy efficiency and domestic power generation, particularly through increased adoption of renewable energy technologies.

Within this context, MESA is seeking a qualified consultant or group of consultants to conduct a market and technology due diligence study/analysis in Republic of Moldova to diagnose the obstacles preventing investments in renewable energy from being realized.  The study should consider, at a minimum, the following challenges: lengthy, multi-authority decision making as part of the licensing and permitting procedures; availability of technology vendors, solution providers, and resource assessment / design studies quality issues; and financial hurdles.
