Scope
Description
Yorkshire Water (YW) and Kelda are seeking to engage the market to discuss their planned deployment of new on-shore wind turbines. Work done to date indicates deployments of 1-3 turbines at each location, with 7 sites under consideration initially plus 2 re-powering 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.
Early turbine identification, based on site constraints and available wind yields, suggests Kelda are looking to initially procure in the 500 kW - 3.45 MW range. This will result in a variance of turbine sizes from hub heights between 40 - 80 meters, and tip heights up to the region of, but not limited to, 117 metres. Later phases of wind development will be in the sub 250 kW range.
The purpose of this notice is to open discussion with turbine manufacturers / suppliers to understand;
Equipment / turbines availability;
Indicative lead times for supply;
Indicative pricing, both capex and opex;
Indicative commercial terms; and
After sales maintenance provision.
Transport management
Installation
These are non-conclusive and are likely to change as development progresses.
YW and Kelda anticipate the award of the procurement in 3 bandings:
- 1MW
A procurement partner may look to cover all of these bandings or just 1. YW and Kelda are open to both new and refurbished turbines via direct purchases from OEMs, broker facilitated procurement and framework agreements.
