Expression of Interest for Short listing of firms for implementation
monitoring of Biomass based integrated gasification power plants at
village level in
Madhugiri taluka of Tumkur district.
Background: Govt. of Karnataka has signed an agreement with International
Funding agencies - UNDP and ICEF and GoI (MNES) to implement the project
“India: Biomass Energy for Rural India” in Tumkur district and intends to utilize part
of the payments to engage agencies for implementing, managing and monitoring
biomass energy related activities envisaged under the project.
Objective of the proposed assignment: Biomass gasifier based electricity
generation system is one of the feasible options to meet the rural energy needs
utilizing the locally available biomass. A pilot project with 500 KW capacity biomass
gasified based electricity generation system to cater the energy requirement of a
cluster of 5 villages (i.e. Kabbigere, Chikkarasanahallii, Chikkannanahalli, Ajjenahalli
and Obenahalli) near Kabbigere village in Koratagere taluk is under construction and
is expected to be commissioned shortly.
In the second phase of the project implementation, PMU – BERI proposes to set up
similar gasifier plants of 2 x 100 KW capacity each in K.T.Halli and Boregunte
villages to cater to the energy requirement of a cluster of 5 villages in Madhugiri
taluka (i.e. K.T.Halli, Hanumantharayanapalya, Seebaiahnapalya, Boragunte and
Veerannanahalli).
In this context, PMU-BERI invites proposals from consulting agencies/firms to
submit “Expression of Interest” (EOI) to take up planning, supervision and
monitoring of project implementation for installation and commissioning of biomass
gasifier based power generation and distribution in a cluster of 5 villages of
Madhugiri taluk of Tumkur district. The scope of the work, period of assignment and
other terms are detailed in the enclosed TOR.
Interested firms/Agencies are requested to submit the profile of the organisations
along with the EOI to the Project Coordinator, clearly indicating the Technical and
Financial terms and conditions, on or before 20th June 2005.

Project Background:
Govt. of Karnataka has signed an agreement with International Funding
agencies - UNDP and ICEF and GOI (MNES) to implement the project “India:
Biomass Energy for Rural India” in Tumkur district and intends to utilize part
of the payments to engage agencies for implementing, managing and
monitoring biomass energy related activities envisaged under the project.

Introduction:
Electrical power plays an important role for overall economical development
of the state and country. The rural population in the country is about 70% and
consumes about 30% of the energy. This energy requirement is presently
being catered from the hydel, thermal and nuclear power generating plants
located at far places from the load centres. There is considerable strain on the
network due to remotely located rural roads. The lengthy transmission and
distribution network including evacuation lines have resulted in high-energy
losses as well as unreliable and poor quality of poor supply.
The broad goal of the project is to develop, implement, demonstrate and
disseminate a bio energy package to meet all the rural energy needs in a
sustainable and participatory way to promote rural development. One of the
major objectives of the project is to meet the requirement of electricity for
lighting, drinking water supply, irrigation and small agro based industries
(flourmill) by operating decentralized biomass energy production system. It is
also proposed to install community borewells of appropriate size for irrigating
half an acre of dry land for each household.
3.
Project objective and Concept:
Biomass gasifier based electricity generation system is one of the feasible
options to meet the rural energy needs utilizing the locally available biomass.
A pilot project with 500 KW capacity biomass gasified based electricity
generation system to cater the energy requirement of a cluster of 5 villages (i.e.
Kabbigere, Chikkarasanahallii, Chikkannanahalli, Ajjenahalli and Obenahalli)
near Kabbigere village in Koratagere taluk is under construction and is
expected to be commissioned shortly.
In the second phase of the project implementation, PMU – BERI has proposed
to set up similar gasifier plants of 2 x 100 KW capacity each in K.T.Halli and
Boregunte villages to cater to the energy requirement of a cluster of 5 villages
in
Madhugiri
taluka
(i.e.
K.T.Halli,
Hanumantharayanapalya,
Seebaiahnapalya, Boragunte and Veerannanahalli).
TOR – Gasifier System in Madhugiri cluster
In this context electrical infrastructure and distribution study for the above 5
villages of Madhugiri cluster has already been completed. The power
generated by the plants will be transmitted and distributed through a
distribution system which will be inter-connected with the currently available
BESCOM distribution and also for use in islanded mode whenever necessary.
Presently it is proposed to establish one 2 x 100 KW biomass generating plant
near Boregunte village and another 2 x 100 KW biomass generating plant neat
K.T.Halli village to develop distribution network, partly utilizing the BESCOM
distribution network for catering the existing and future loads of 3 and 2
villages respectively. The capacity of the plants could be increased at a later
stage by installing additional generating units in the above plants.
