## Summary

Yorkshire Water Services Limited, a key player in the private utility sector, is initiating a procurement process aimed at the deployment of on-shore wind turbines. As part of the planning stage, the organisation is conducting a preliminary market engagement to gather bankable wind data for seven sites, with potential additional development sites. Interested parties are encouraged to engage by 8th May 2026. The contract, beginning on 1st July 2026 and concluding on 30th June 2027, offers the possibility of renewal, focusing on wind surface observing apparatus and weather-forecasting services across various UK regions.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in wind data analytics and modelling, particularly those capable of providing data that facilitates securing wind turbine project finance without extensive campaigns. Companies with experience in providing detailed wind statistics and financial models in a bankable format are well-suited for this engagement. With Yorkshire Water's plans to expand wind power deployment, this venture aligns perfectly for SMEs poised to offer innovative renewable energy solutions, supporting the drive towards sustainable energy practices and operational efficiency.

## Notice

Yorkshire Water (YW) and Kelda are seeking to engage the market to discuss their planned deployment of new on-shore wind turbines - specifically regarding bankable wind data without the requirement for 12 month Met Mast or LiDAR campaigns. Work done to date indicates deployments of 1-3 turbines at each location, with 7 sites under consideration initially plus 2 repowering sites. As YW and Kelda look to expand this programme, they anticipate a small scale wind development programme in addition. The deployments would be on YW operational land and would directly power the adjacent operational site, offsetting grid purchased power. The purpose of this notice is to open discussion with wind data analysts, modellers and providers. We would like to work with wind data specialists with a proven track record of securing wind turbine project finance having used modelled wind data, processed into a bankable format, without a 12 month LiDAR or Met Mast campaign. Data must include: - Annual Average(mean) wind speed (at hub height) - Once in 50 years 3 seconds maximum wind gust - Weibull Shape factor k - Wind shear index IEC alpha - Characteristic turbulence at 15m/s, or the full turbulence graph - Wind farm output at P50/P90 levels (gross and net yield) The following can be provided: - Wind turbine locations - Wind turbines hub heights - Wind turbine makes and models - Any other relevant data YW and Kelda are looking to partner with a single data provider who can provide bankable wind data which will be used for accurate financial modelling and securing project finance.
