The school has an existing 93kWp system and uses 450,000 kwh total electricity a year. It has no capital to invest in an extension of the system. The objectives are to: 1. install solar PV at zero capital cost and gain zero -carbon power which the Trust will pay for. 2.Monitor and maintain it at no cost to the Trust, delivering zero-carbon electricity over the period of the agreement. 3.Provide cost savings to the school now and a mechanism for the Trust to be able to alter the price they pay for the solar power in the future. 4.Deliver education for sustainable development linked to electricity use.",

As a centre of teaching and learning it is key to the project that learning can be delivered to the school and wider community. We need a full understanding of how the contract will work and how much influence the Trust could have on the contract over time. Please provide details on the governance of the organisation offering the PPA. Our goal is to progress towards carbon neutrality for 2030 with suppliers that can support the school and the Trust's ambitions. The objectives are to: 1. Install solar PV at zero capital cost and gain zero-carbon solar power which the Trust will pay for 2. Monitor and maintain it at no cost to the Trust, delivering zero-carbon electricity over the medium to long term. 3. Provide cost savings to the schools now and a mechanism for the Trust to be able to alter the price they pay for the solar power in the future 4. Deliver education for sustainable development linked to electricity use The requirement is to provide a PPA for the installation and maintenance of a 140kWp system (350 x 400W panels) on the roof of Heron Hall Academy as per the design outlined in Appendix 1. The building is listed and the PPA must cover all the development costs associated with the install including but not exclusive to, planning, grid and structural surveys. Whilst the choice of installation equipment will be down to the PPA provider, it should be of a quality to ensure that the system remains operational and any downtime due to technical failures are kept to a minimum to ensure that the Trust receives the solar power at all times. Please provide details of the investors who will fund the PPA, details on the mechanism that will be used to increase the PPA and your Heads of Terms so they can be reviewed along with evidence that your terms meet Department for Education sign off. The school has an existing 93kWp system and uses 450,000 kWh of electricity a year. It has no capital to invest in the system. Contract management requirements: * Key named contact * Monthly email updates / video conference updates * Respond to requests within 3 working days * Adhere to project time plan * Ensure system is linked to online monitoring platform that can be accessed by students and staff. * Contracts/heads of terms that clearly show how the PPA can be managed over time to the benefit of the school/Trust.
