of GIZ and the Cypriot project partners. In addition, the contractor shall organize
an introductory training on FPV with a minimum duration of three hours. Throughout
the implementation of work package 1, the contractor shall be available to answer
specific additional questions of the Cypriot project partners with regard to FPV.
Task 1.2: Analysis of the feasibility and the potential of FPV in Cyprus In the context
of this task, the contractor shall analyse the feasibility of the installation and
operation of FPV projects in dams and reservoirs in Cyprus. For this purpose, the
contractor shall select three (3) exemplary dams or reservoirs for which the feasibility
of the installation of FPV systems shall be assessed. The feasibility study shall
include, for each of the three exemplary dams or reservoirs separately, an assessment
of the technical, economic and socio-environmental feasibility of the installation
of FPV projects at the respective locations. From the above-mentioned feasibility
assessment, the contractor shall derive general conclusions with regard to the feasibility
of the implementation of FPV projects in Cyprus. He shall identify potential challenges
and formulate recommendations with regard to the development of this technology in
Cyprus, including possibilities to address the identified challenges as well as important
technical, economic or socio-economic aspects that should be considered by the responsible
Cypriot authorities. Finally, the contractor shall perform an assessment of the overall
technical and economic potential for the installation of FPV systems on water bodies
in Cyprus. Estimations should be provided for the theoretic technical potential, the
feasible technical potential as well as the economic potential, based on the assumptions
from the above-described feasibility study. The results from these estimations shall
then be aggregated to arrive at the total technical and economic potential for the
installation of FPV projects on dams and reservoirs in Cyprus. Task 1.3: Development
of technical specifications for the implementation of FPV projects in Cyprus The contractor
shall develop general technical specifications that can be used for the future procurement
