Contract Summary
THIS PROCUREMENT EVENT IS ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. This project is part of the wider Cornwall Local Energy Market Programme in Cornwall. The scope of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is to procure a BESS to provide both Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) capability and selected grid services, which will be located Behind The Meter (BTM) at a Commercial site in mid Cornwall. The scope includes the design of the BESS; execution of transport, offloading, installation, commissioning, testing and sign off/certification, in addition to providing an operation and maintenance service. System sizes could range from: 150kW x 75kWh to 250kW x 125kWh. Centrica plc's Cornwall Local Energy Market project (LEM) is an EU-funded initiative involving the development of a virtual energy marketplace. The trial provides homes and businesses with the technology and a software platform to buy and sell energy and flexibility to both the supply networks and the wholesale energy market. The project's overarching aim is to demonstrate that the electricity distribution network can facilitate an increased penetration of renewable / low carbon electricity generation by invoking novel strategies including flexibility. The LEM project will enable energy asset flexibility in the most constrained areas on the distribution network in Cornwall. To this end the project is installing low carbon energy generation assets, such as natural gas CHP, renewable energy generation, storage, private wire networks, and demand-side response technologies into selected industrial and commercial premises in Cornwall.
