Assist and advise in assessment of potential project enhancements to include; - Appropriateness and merits of combining a Private Wire Network Project in Kirkwall to Orkney's Community Wind Farm Project- Quanterness (if consented). - Potential for addition of alternative technologies to the project to improve the business case, such as battery, hydrogen, other storage, complementary generation or smart grid technologies. - Provision of technical input as required by Ofgem in determining whether the Needs Case for a new transmission connection has been met. Additionally there will be a requirement to undertake any other technical advice as deemed appropriate and within the expertise of the consultant. The consultant will be required to liaise with the providers of Lot 1 and Lot 2 services to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach. - Procurement technical advice Assist in procurement of further advisers and contractors required to reach final investment decision and to proceed to construction of the projects.
