CORE CAPRICORN - 3MW Battery Energy Storage System
Buyer: CORE Capricorn Limited →
What is being bought
CORE Capricorn Limited, In partnership with Plymouth City Council, is looking to procure a c. 3MW / 4.5 MWh Battery Energy Storage System. The System will be collocated with an existing Solar PV project in South Devon, but will be electrically separate up to the DNO switchroom. We have assumed a battery duration of 1.5hrs (3MW / 4.5 MWh) however will consider proposals for system of 1 hour(s) or greater. The size of the Battery Energy Storage System will be driven by the overall project economics. We are interested in options for a modular system that can be expanded over time. The anticipated deadline for the procurement of the battery system (including a down payment) is by early July 2022. With the development on the system to take place over the course of 2022-2023. Proposals should be issued to alex@finance.earth. Procurement documentation are available from alex@finance.earth.
Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Electricity (09310000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 09 | 1,837 | 4 median · 34.4 average (667 of 1,837 with a bid count) | 5 average (768 of 1,837 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Price-outcome signal
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
