Yorkshire Water has launched a preliminary market engagement exercise for on-shore wind turbine procurement.
Yorkshire Water and Kelda are seeking to engage the market to discuss their planned deployment of new on-shore wind turbines and the repowering of some existing sites.
Work done to date indicates deployments of 1-3 turbines at each location, with 25 sites under consideration.
The deployments would be on the water company’s operational land and would directly power the adjacent operational site, offsetting grid purchased power.
Early turbine identification, based on site constraints and available wind yields, suggests Kelda are looking to initially procure in the 500 kW - 3.45 MW range. This will result in a variance of turbine sizes from hub heights between 40 - 80 meters, and tip heights up to the region of 117 metres
Yorkshire Water is looking to open discussions with turbine manufacturers / suppliers to understand;
- Equipment / turbines availability;
- Indicative lead times for supply;
- Indicative pricing, both capex and opex;
- Indicative commercial terms; and
- After sales maintenance provision.
These are non-conclusive and are likely to change as development progresses. The water company is open to both new and refurbished turbines via direct purchases from OEMs, broker facilitated procurement and framework agreements.
Current estimated start and end contract dates are 1 January 2029 to 31 December 2030 with a possible extension to 31 December 203, and current estimated date for publication of a tender notice is 1 September 2028
Engagement deadline is 31 January 2026. Suppliers and organisation who would like to express an interest are asked to email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
