Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy

Tender description

Keele University is looking for a supplier to finance, design, procure, install and operate a diverse range of renewable energy generation and energy storage resources, to achieve a reduction of at least 4096 t CO2 within the 2021 calendar year, and the potential for further reduction beyond this date. The technologies would be installed within or local to the 600 acres of University land. Keele University aims to become self sufficient in energy generation and supply, deliver much reduced, if not,zero carbon emissions from its energy consumption and provide a mix of energies to underpin its research into renewable and alternative energy solutions. Whilst the strategy for this will be delivered through the existing Send project, this Low carbon energy generation project is critical in reducing the equivalent CO2 emissions. Keele University is looking for a mix of low-carbon sources and storage options to maximise on-site energy generation potential, to deliver the required (at least 4 096 t CO2) and recognisable reduction in carbon emissions and to function in conjunction with its current Smart Energy Network Demonstrator scheme (SEND).The University operates its own private gas, electricity (HV and LV) and water networks, providing a unique opportunity for complimentary technologies to deliver an innovative, cost effective and reliable energy solution. We are seeking a partner to develop proposals and define the best mix of technologies.
