BRIEF PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF GRANTEE Yeşilırmak Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş. (YEDAŞ) is one of the 21 private electric distribution companies in Turkey, which serves 1,767,000 customers in the north service territory. Under the terms of the 30 year license with the Turkish Electrical Distribution Company (TEDAŞ), which owns the electrical grid, YEDAŞ earns revenue according to a tariff required to make capital investments in upgrades to the distribution grid. Since 2010, YEDAŞ has invested %50 million in the grid, and as a result of these investments has reduced the electrical loss amount from 10.35% to 8.28% in four years. YEDAŞ is now targeting to reduce the losses to no more than 4% in its grid. YEDAŞ plans to implement second stage smart grid technologies to expand the capabilities of its existing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The feasibility study will provide recommendations to structure near-term implementation of smart grid technologies to expand its SCADA system as well as medium-term recommendations to allow for third-party generation inputs and electric vehicle charging networks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF STUDY COMPONENTS This Feasibility Study will help to assess the technical, economic and financial feasibility for implementing second generation smart grid that will promote the efficiency of electricity distribution by expanding the capabilities of YEDAŞ existing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, which will also accommodate anticipated additional generation inputs. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $555,500 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and portions of a background definitional mission report are available from USTDA, at 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209-3901.
