## Summary

The London Underground Limited is currently conducting a tender for the "TfL Renewable Corporate Power Purchase Agreement ('PPA Comet')" in the energy sector, specifically focusing on renewable power sourcing. This procurement process aims to secure a contract for 150-200 GWhs of renewable energy annually for a duration of 15 years. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 25 July 2022, and the renewable energy facility is expected to commence power delivery between 1 June 2024 and 30 June 2026. This initiative falls under a selective procurement method and is classified as a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in renewable energy generation, particularly suppliers of wind and solar power technologies. Companies that specialise in developing new renewable generation facilities or those looking to expand their portfolio in sustainable energy production would be well-suited to compete in this tender. Additionally, businesses interested in opportunities for long-term asset financing, as mentioned in related collaborative initiatives by the Greater London Authority (GLA), could find value in participating in this procurement. Interested bidders can reach out for more information or financing options via the provided contact details.

## Notice

Transport for London (TfL) (contracting as its subsidiary, London Underground Limited) is seeking to enter into a PPA ('PPA Comet') with a renewable generator, and expects to contract for 150-200 GWhs of renewable energy per annum from 'additional' generator assets, pursuant to a 15 year PPA. The new build facility must be able to begin delivering power to TfL under a PPA no earlier than 1 June 2024 and no later than 30 June 2026.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

TfL is seeking to enter into a PPA, 'PPA Comet', with a renewable generator. TfL will purchase the power generated by the renewable facility (or an agreed percentage of the power generated reflecting TfL's output requirement (i.e. 150-200 GWh per annum)) for the duration of the supply period (i.e. 15 years) as well as the associated environmental attributes and benefits. The contract structure will be a 'pay-as-produced' sleeved ('physical') PPA for the supply of wind power or solar power only, with TfL's existing utility supplier (or such other licensed supplier that TfL may appoint from time to time) providing the sleeving services. TfL is conducting a Negotiated Procedure with prior call for competition under the Utilities Contracts Regulations, and therefore some change to the published PPA may be expected. Potential areas of negotiation, and the process for conducting it, are included in the full suite of tender documents. As indicated in its press release of 19 March 2021, the GLA is exploring collaborative GLA Group new-build PPA procurements, along with the separate development of a long-term asset financing solution to be made available to bidders for those PPAs. The GLA also intends to make a tranche of long-term asset financing available to bidders for this TfL PPA, subject to due diligence. The GLA financing solution, and the GLA Group new-build PPA procurements, are separate from and independent of this TfL PPA procurement. Whether or not bidders take up the GLA financing offer will be solely for bidders to determine and no preference will be given in the evaluation of PPA bids to submissions from bidders who have taken up this offer. TfL has no information on the GLA financing offer; interested potential suppliers should contact PPAfinance@londontreasury.org.
