## Summary

The contracting authority, Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, has completed the procurement process for the "Decarbonisation Programme - Project CoPPA" in the goods category within the electricity, heating, solar, and nuclear energy industry. The procurement involved the cancellation of a national contract for a corporate Power Purchase Agreement with a renewable energy generator. The procurement method used was a selective negotiated procedure, with prior call for competition. The contract was awarded to EDF Energy Renewables Ltd on 28th July 2022.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for renewable energy generators capable of supplying 64GWh per annum to Network Rail for non-traction consumption. Companies with experience in providing renewable energy solutions, such as large-scale solar or wind energy projects, are well-suited to compete. The successful bidder, EDF Energy Renewables Ltd, exemplifies how businesses can benefit from participating in public procurement processes to secure long-term contracts and contribute to decarbonisation initiatives in the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Network Rail (NR) operates, maintains and develops Britain's rail tracks, signalling, bridges, tunnels, level crossings and many key stations. As a result, NR is one of the largest purchasers of energy in the United Kingdom (UK) with a total consumption of c.4.5TWh per annum. Her Majesty's Government (HMG) 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 energy consumption by directly purchasing renewable energy from specific renewable energy projects thus supporting the development of additional renewable energy generation. Network Rail is seeking to secure a corporate Power Purchase Agreement (cPPA) with a renewable energy generator for 45 GWh - 90GWh per annum of renewable energy (Project CoPPA).
