What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionNetwork Rail (NR) operates, maintains and develops Britain's rail tracks, signaling, bridges, tunnels, level crossings and many key stations. As a result, NR is one of the largest purchasers
of electricity in the United Kingdom (UK) with a total consumption of c.4.5TWh per annum
(traction 4.1 TWh and non-traction 0.45TWh). Her Majesty's Government has made legal commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Network Rail as a
government owned enterprise is committed to support the achievement of this objective. NR aims to decarbonise
its non-traction electricity consumption by directly purchasing renewable energy from specific renewable energy (wind and/or solar) projects thus supporting the
development of additional renewable energy generation in Great Britain. NR is seeking to secure a corporate Power Purchase Agreement with a renewable energy generator for 45GWh–90GWh
per annum for non-traction consumption. Total contract value is circa £40m-£80m over 15 years.

Network Rail intends to transform its non-traction electricity (i.e. managed stations, depots and offices - Project CoPPA) consumption, to 100% renewable energy whilst supporting the
development of additional renewable energy generation in Great Britain. Network Rail intends to:
(a) Procure a corporate PPA with a renewable energy (wind and/or solar) generator to deliver 45GWh - 90GWh of power.
(b) Ensure that the renewable energy corporate PPA satisfies the "Additionality" criteria as set out by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. Therefore, the project(s) must be prior to renewable generation construction and NR's offtake will need to substantively contribute to the project(s) securing final investment decision and/or financial close.
