This initiative aims to enhance renewable energy efficiency at the Eastcroft Depot in Nottingham, with a total contract value of £180,000. The procurement process, classified under electrical machinery and transport equipment, follows an open procedure and is currently in the tender stage. Bids must be submitted by 4th May 2022, with contract commencement expected on 30th May 2022, running until 30th November 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in energy management technologies, electrical equipment supply, and installation services. Companies specialising in renewable energy solutions, smart grid technologies, and electrical vehicle infrastructure would find this procurement particularly appealing. Firms capable of delivering innovative V2G and energy management systems can contribute to the project's objectives of maximising renewable energy use and reducing operational costs, paving the way for potential long-term partnerships with Nottingham City Council. ## Notice Nottingham City Council has received Interreg NWE and Innovate UK funding to trial new technology at Eastcroft Depot. Both of these projects are aiming to develop overarching interoperable energy management software (iEMS), which will be capable of operating multiple operations and devices, and increase the efficiency in the supply of renewable energy. We will be demonstrating a system which integrates renewable energy, from Solar PV arrays, with 40 vehicle to grid (V2G) bi-directional chargers and 40 electric vehicles (EVs - mainly vans for our maintenance, energy delivery and highways teams), using the batteries to store and redistribute this energy. V2G technology allows EVs to be charged as usual, but also to feed electricity stored within their batteries back to adjacent buildings or grid, thereby facilitating a smart, bi-directional flow of energy, which meets local energy demands and reduces strain on the electricity supply grid. The aims of the project are to: * to maximise use of renewable energy in the buildings at Eastcroft and when charging the new EVs * to reduce costs by managing energy in a smart way and reducing demand during peak tariffs * to subsidise the capital cost of the units and provide ongoing financial savings using revenues generated by offering Demand Side Response and Flexibility Services. * To develop interoperable energy management software As part of this project, Nottingham City Council requests a solution for the supply and installation of 40 DC V2G charging units (which enable bidirectional flow of electricity from site to national grid) and associated equipment on their Nottingham site.
