## Summary

Ynni Newydd Cyfyngedig, a community energy company based in Cardiff Bay, has announced an invitation to tender for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the initial 1.5 MWp phase of the Bretton Hall Solar Farm, located near Chester on the England-Wales border. This construction work project falls under the renewable energy sector and includes battery installation to provide exportable renewable energy. The project is currently in the tender stage with the tender period ending on 17 January 2025, followed by an award period starting on the same day. The work is expected to begin by 27 January 2025 and complete by 30 June 2027. Bidders must submit their responses electronically by 17:00 on 17 January 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction, renewable energy, and infrastructure projects to contribute to a large-scale solar farm project, providing potential scopes for designing, procuring, constructing, and installing solar power systems. Companies with expertise in renewable energy projects, particularly those with experience in community-owned energy initiatives, are well-suited to compete. The contract includes provisions for delivering community benefits, enhancing the social and economic impact on the local community, which can further help businesses demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability goals.

## Notice

Bretton Hall Solar will be a community-owned solar PV plant of c.30MW export capacity and battery installation to provide renewable energy for export via the local distribution network and/or directly to nearby heavy power consumers. The project is sited at Bretton Hall, near Broughton in Flintshire on the border between England and Wales and the site extends across the national boundary. We are currently developing an interim 1.5MW scheme. We invite responces to the EPC contract for this interim scheme.
