The trial provides participants (homes and businesses) with a platform to buy and sell energy, and flexibility to both the supply networks and the wholesale energy market. The project's overarching aim is to demonstrate that the electricity distribution network can facilitate an increased penetration of renewable / low carbon electricity generation by invoking novel strategies including flexibility. LEM project outputs include reducing GHG emissions by enabling more renewable and low carbon electricity generation, as well as enabling energy asset flexibility in the most constrained areas on the distribution network. To this end, the project will install low carbon energy generation assets, such as natural gas CHP, renewable energy generation, storage, private wire networks, and demand-side response technologies into selected industrial and commercial premises in Cornwall. ### What we're looking for The Cornwall Local Energy Market Programme has a requirement for a suitably qualified electrical contractor who can provide energy infrastructure to connect a 2.5MW Solar Farm at Lower Ninestones near St Austell to the Western Power Distribution Network and the Cornwall Local Energy Market. The energy Infrastructure comprises high voltage (33 kV) electrical works, low voltage electrical works, communications equipment and associated ground works that must be designed, supplied, installed and commissioned by the end of October 2018. The full specification is contained within the ITT document pack which is available on request. Additional information: Cornwall LEM is an ERDF funded project and as such operates under national procurement rules. To request a ITT pack, please send an email with this number in the subject title: Cornwall LEM 006di Ninestones. We aim to deal with your request within one working day. All questions will be shared with all bidders. Questions will not be taken or answered during the ITT stage other than through Centrica's LEM Project email address: Direct communication with a member of the Cornwall LEM team during the tender advertising period is strictly prohibited and may result in your tender being disqualified.
