Supply of 4.09 TWh is required to meet current requirement from a
compliment of 384 customers via an aggregated, flexible, risk managed
approach . Growth in customer numbers could cause a rise to approximately
10 TWh per annum over the life of the Framework Agreement. Our existing
volumes will be expected to transfer in stages as supply delivery periods
under the existing arrangement expire and therefore initial delivery
volumes may be significantly lower. We will require that part of the
volume will be met from renewable sources and from Good Quality Combined
Heat and Power.
Cost dependant on market performance and the term of the Framework
Agreement(s).
Scheduled Date for OJEU Advert: June 2010.
