What is being bought

Published requirement description

As part of its net zero targets, Essex County Council (ECC) is keen to explore opportunities to increase local renewable energy generation through collective purchasing of solar PV panels. This will provide a significant benefit to residents and local businesses by providing an easy, good-value route to high quality solar PV installations.

The aim of this early market engagement exercise is to determine whether there is a market to run collective solar PV purchasing schemes to help residents and small businesses to purchase high quality PV panels and battery storage (As an additional option) at an affordable price and from trusted suppliers. In addition, we hope this will also help us know new entrants to the market as well as engagement with organisations that are willing to provide the service to Essex County.

*Please note this is a soft market engagement activity and not a tender opportunity*
