This initiative falls under the electricity, heating, solar, and nuclear energy industry category. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 4th May 2021. The project aims to secure a corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for renewable energy consumption of approximately 45GWh to 90GWh annually, supporting the UK government’s commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The anticipated contract value ranges from £40 million to £80 million over a period of 15 years, with a submission method that includes electronic and written formats.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in renewable energy generation, specifically those involved in wind and solar projects. Companies that can demonstrate the required technical expertise and financial standing will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Given the selective procurement method, prospective bidders should review all tender documents carefully to ensure they meet the mandatory selection criteria. Participation in this tender could substantially contribute to a business's growth while aiding the transition towards more sustainable energy solutions in the UK.

## Notice

Network Rail (NR) operates, maintains and develops Britain's rail tracks, signaling, bridges, tunnels, level crossings and many key stations. As a result, NR is one of the largest purchasers of electricity in the United Kingdom (UK) with a total consumption of c.4.5TWh per annum (traction 4.1 TWh and non-traction 0.45TWh). Her Majesty's Government has made legal commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Network Rail as a government owned enterprise is committed to support the achievement of this objective. NR aims to decarbonise its non-traction electricity consumption by directly purchasing renewable energy from specific renewable energy (wind and/or solar) projects thus supporting the development of additional renewable energy generation in Great Britain. NR is seeking to secure a corporate Power Purchase Agreement with a renewable energy generator for 45GWh-90GWh per annum for non-traction consumption. Total contract value is circa PS40m-PS80m over 15 years.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Network Rail intends to transform its non-traction electricity (i.e. managed stations, depots and offices - Project CoPPA) consumption, to 100% renewable energy whilst supporting the development of additional renewable energy generation in Great Britain. Network Rail intends to: (a) Procure a corporate PPA with a renewable energy (wind and/or solar) generator to deliver 45GWh - 90GWh of power. (b) Ensure that the renewable energy corporate PPA satisfies the "Additionality" criteria as set out by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. Therefore, the project(s) must be prior to renewable generation construction and NR's offtake will need to substantively contribute to the project(s) securing final investment decision and/or financial close.
