## Description

The City of London Corporation \("City Corporation"\) has committed to sourcing 100 % renewable electricity, with renewable PPAs being an integral part of its energy procurement and sustainability strategies\. The City Corporation is therefore seeking to sign a long-term offsite Power Purchase Agreement \("PPA"\) with a wind farm or solar PV developer in Great Britain \(i\.e\. excluding Northern Ireland\)\. In the interest of creating "additionality", the City Corporation seeks a "new" project, which is not yet constructed but that has already been permitted/consented\. The City Corporation would consider an operational project as a bridging option only\. A sleeved \("physical"\) PPA structure is sought, with the City's existing utility supplier providing the sleeving services\. The project\(s\) should be new i\.e\. not yet constructed, but should already be permitted/consented\. An operational project would be considered but as a bridging option only\. The City Corporation ideally seeks a PPA of around 10 to 15 years generation from a c\.50-60 GWh/yr project, or portfolio of projects, with anticipated commercial operations by the end of Q4 2021\. Additional information: All dates and values are estimates and may be subject to change\. This notice is not a call for competition\. Any call for competition will be advertised at a later date\.
