Leicestershire County Council "the Council" is undertaking a Soft Market Testing (SMT) exercise to understand how to maximise the benefit from its investment into a solar farm currently planned to be completed by Autumn 2023.
The site is expected to generate approximately 10,000 MWh of electricity which would be fed directly into the energy grid. The grid connection with Western Power Distribution has been previously secured.
The Council has set out several questions that it is seeking information on from the industry to help the Council determine how it should approach procuring a PPA and to maximise the return on its investment in constructing a solar farm.
Please see link to questionnaire below (via EastMidsTenders Council's procurement platform) https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0325b677-7f5e-ed11-811b-9f38301b3091&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21
