Request for Expressions of Interest (EOI)

Palladium, through the Quad Infrastructure Fellowships (QIF), is seeking a supplier or consortium to design and deliver the short course Grid-Connected Solar Integration for Small Island Systems. The course will support mid-career and senior fellows from Pacific utilities, system operators, energy ministries, regulators and state-owned enterprises to strengthen practical capability in integrating grid-connected solar and storage into small island power systems. Delivery will follow a three-phase QIF model, including hybrid preparation, a five-day in-region face-to-face core phase, and hybrid post-course application with mentoring. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in small island or remote power-system integration, protection and control, storage dispatch, SCADA and network data, energy regulation, independent power producer contracting, tariffs, battery safety, workforce development, GEDSI-inclusive delivery, monitoring and evaluation, and applied adult learning. The course will include system diagnostics, practical exercises, peer exchange and Work-Based Action Plans linked to fellows’ own infrastructure contexts.
