Scope
Description
Yorkshire Water (YW) and Kelda are seeking to engage the market to discuss their planned deployment of new on-shore wind turbines and the repowering of some existing sites. Work done to date indicates deployments of 1-3 turbines at each location, with 25 sites under Consideration.
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 117 metres
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.
These are non-conclusive and are likely to change as development progresses.
YW and Kelda are open to both new and refurbished turbines via direct purchases from OEMs, broker facilitated procurement and framework agreements.
