| Description : |
The overall objective of the development of the Cloud / GIS platform on electrification and renewable energy in Philippines is to strengthen the impact of electrification projects fostering access to electrical services to the population. This platform proposes a number of information relating to the energy sector from the main national energy institutions and cooperatives. The information made available will help decision making on energy projects, follow up the status of electrification, and propose relevant indicators to promote new projects and monitor the progress of ongoing projects. |

| Description of the Actual Services Provided | The scope of work is divided into 3 phases : 1/ In the Inception Phase, IED identified all the relevant stakeholders, confirmed their mandates, and inventoried relevant ongoing GIS initiatives 2/ In the Consensus-Building and Discovery phase, IED • Identified specific roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders • Reviewed all rural electrification approaches (both current and future) being applied, and that could be developed, to identify ‘use cases” that the RE4RE system must address • Agreed the specific economic and financial analysis approaches to be used and what tools might be used to provide this (e.g. RETScreen) • Developed a comprehensive data model, and data dictionary 3/ In the Design Phase, IED: • Mapped the business functional requirements to the major GIS platforms and planning software products available in the market (both proprietary and open-source) • Proposed the optimum delivery architecture based on outsourced web-enablement and cloud hosting and specify the conceptual IT technical design • Defined comprehensive standards for the service delivery model including but not limited to availability, security, access control, backup, disaster recovery and help desk support • Identified the major risks and risk mitigations to implementation and nationwide rollout • Developed a component by component estimate of the total costs involved – categorized as capital, software development, data population and operating (IT service provision) – taking into account any phased deployment |
