Description of the Actual Services Provided The feasibility study service is as follows:

- Task 1: To take stock of the situation of the rate of access to electricity in the communes of the Department of Mayo Banyo;
- Task 2: Carry out a study of electricity demand;
- Task 3: Carry out geological surveys of PCH sites;
- Task 4: Carry out topographic studies by drone (in particular);
- Task 5: Carry out complete hydrological studies;
- Task 6: Carry out studies of the hydroelectric facilities (with design of all the access structures to the site, electricity production) and (the) associated electricity networks;
- Task 7: Carry out the economic and financial analysis of production facilities from the point of view of an IPP project leader

The project will increase the electrification rate in the Mayo-Banyo Department from 10% to 67%. The power of the plant is 5MW for an annual production of 41 GWh/year. The network includes a 72 km 30 kV biterre connection line and 340 km of 30 kV MV distribution network.
