## Summary

The Bridgend County Borough Council is currently running a tender for the detailed project design of the Ynysawdre Heat Network. This project aims to fully decarbonise heating for various BCBC-owned buildings by utilising green hydrogen and waste heat. The procurement stage is active, with key dates including a tender period ending on August 9th, 2023, and bid opening scheduled for the same day at 14:00. The location for this tender is in Bridgend, with the main procurement category being services.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses in the services sector, particularly those involved in green energy solutions and heat network development. Companies with expertise in innovative heating technologies and sustainable solutions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The Bridgend County Borough Council aims to advance towards decarbonisation and sustainable practices through this tender, creating a platform for business growth in the green energy industry.

## Notice

Marubeni Europower Ltd is developing a green hydrogen production facility (called HyBont) drawing on new local solar PV and wind generation via private wire and sleeving. It is proposed this will supply multiple offtakers including a heat network serving Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) owned buildings, specifically a primary school, college, and leisure centre complex approximately 1.2km away. Buro Happold produced a feasibility study in 2022 which identified the preferred solution to be that the heat network will draw green hydrogen and waste heat directly from the electrolyser to serve the heat network. Waste heat recovered from the electrolyser will be used to meet the baseload heat demand on the heat network with hydrogen boilers providing top-up heat during peak times and when waste heat is not available, due to the intermittency of renewable energy supply to electrolyser. This innovative project will fully decarbonise the heating of these buildings and make use of a heat source that would otherwise be considered waste and lost. BCBC has been awarded funding from the Heat Network Development Unit (HNDU) to undertake the Detailed Project Development (DPD) phase study to determine whether the heat network opportunity is sufficiently viable to take through to commercialisation and delivery.
