## Summary

Devon County Council has awarded contracts for the CP2531-24 Solar on Landfill project, aiming to increase renewable energy on former landfill sites in Devon as part of the Devon Carbon Plan. The contract focuses on renewable energy investment, specifically solar energy, with a total contract value of £120,000. The project, classified under the CPV code 09300000 for electricity, heating, solar, and nuclear energy, involves multiple lots including Planning, Design, and Costings as well as Financial Modelling and Commercial Options Appraisal. The project started on 27 September 2024 and is set to complete by 31 March 2025, with procurement being conducted as an open procedure.

This tender represents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and community investment groups, as it includes commercial options appraisals, planning procedures, and financial modelling. With ZLC Energy Ltd and Carbon Trust Advisory Limited acting as suppliers, businesses with expertise in renewable energy, environmental consultancy, and financial modelling are well-suited to participate. The project also offers the potential for various revenue streams via Power Purchase Agreements and grid flexibility services, presenting substantial growth opportunities for the involved businesses.

## Notice

Increased renewable energy is identified as a priority in the Devon Carbon Plan. In addition, Devon County Council's (DCC) revised Carbon Reduction Plan identifies major investment in at least 11 MWp of renewable energy on DCC's estate as a key means to achieve its net zero target and contribute to the Devon Carbon Plan. We commissioned a review of opportunities on DCC's estate, working with Pure Energy Professionals (PEP). From this process, three former landfill sites were identified as the best immediate opportunities. Further economic feasiblity work has been undertaken. We have won a Project Development Grant from the SWNZH , and are combining this with contributions from the Innovate UK Fast Followers Budget, and from the Environment team's climate budget to progress this opportunity. The procured work will carry out the following: * Commercial options appraisal (including assessment of revenue streams via Power Purchase Agreements and grid flexibility services). * Detailed financial modelling of costs, including land remediation, grid connection and planning application. * Assessment of financing packages (e.g. community investment), including contractual arrangements. * Planning pre-application process. Lot 1: Planning, Design and Costings. Lot 2: Financial Modelling and Commercial Options Appraisal.
