Electricity

Tender description

The purpose of this tender is to identify the most economically advantageous tender for the supply of electricity and natural gas to the DAA. In doing this, we have set out in the attached documents/spreadsheets the requirements of the DAA at the respective Cork & Dublin Airport sites. Separate contracts may be entered into for the supply of electricity and for the supply of natural gas. A contract for a minimum of 24 months will be awarded based on the submissions from this tender. A mini-tender may be undertaken for a further 12-month term to ensure market competition.

The three CHP engines at Dublin Airport have a combined output of 6.7MW (e). The CHP operating strategy is determined by the amount of potential savings generated. Savings are calculated based on the relative difference between natural gas and electricity and by the ability to use the heat generated. The heat is used for space heating and some domestic hot water in the terminals, for which we would have a very low demand in summer months.
