Notice Description

OPEN EARLY MARKET ENGAGEMENT - this means that a procurement idea is currently active. It is in the early stage of development and judging interest from potential suppliers. Hydrogen storage infrastructure will be critical in supporting the government's low carbon hydrogen production ambitions and the mission to achieve clean power by 2030.
