One of the projects is the Glastonbury Clean Energy Project and the Council is proposing to appoint a contractor for a period of seven months to carry out feasibility work and help develop the project's Business Case & Plan . This Glastonbury Clean Energy Project is being led and delivered by Avalon Community Energy (ACE) and will be located on Beckery on the outer edge of Glastonbury. It comprises a substantial investment in community energy generation and transport infrastructure. £2.6 million is being made available from the Town Deal to deliver it and match funding will come from community investment and a provisional sum of £1 million was included in the initial project proposal. The purposes for which the annual surpluses are applied will be determined in collaboration with stakeholders through a mutually agreed governance arrangement (TBA). Phase 1 will determine the scope and scale of: • the subsequent multi million capital investment in community energy generation • the contribution to achieving Glastonbury's carbon neutral goal • the surplus available for future community benefit. As a guide, ACE has done a preliminary assessment of solar, wind and anaerobic digestion energy generation potential which could save around 1k tonnes of carbon per year and yield an annual revenue surplus of £100 - £200k and may comprise, but not limited to, a mix of community owned installations e.g.: • Solar PV - with a provisional mix (subject to detailed analysis) of 4.4 MW ground-mounted solar array + 500kW of roof top PV panels providing power to adjacent Town Deal Projects, adjacent business premises and local customers; • 1 MW battery to balance energy generation with demand; • 50 EV charge points at the Park and Ride with a bank of slow and rapid charge points - number and capacity TBD Expressions of Interest (EoI) ### Notification of EoI Please notify your interest in this RFQ via e-mail to ''. ### Applications All applications/submissions are to be sent by e-mail to '' by 3pm 19th October 2021.
