Windfarm project
Reference number: 2022-46

31121340 - Wind farm

SUPPLIES

In order to increase its wind energy generation, Landsvirkjun is currently exploring the feasibility of developing two wind energy projects with a capacity of up to 220MW. Should these projects proceed, then the expectation is that construction would be anticipated to start in 2025. In order for Landsvirkjun to assess whether these projects are feasible from a technical, financial and operational point of view, we invite interested parties with the relevant experience (as explained further below) to participate in a preliminary market consultation process. Organisations with the relevant experience who are interested in taking part in this consultation process will be required to complete and return a Non-Disclosure Agreement in the manner described in section “Additional information” Landsvirkjun does not commit to undertake any procurement process in respect of these projects and/or award any contract(s).

This contract is divided into lots: No

Currently, renewable energy from wind accounts for only a small proportion of total electricity generation in Iceland. However, in 2012, Landsvirkjun erected two Enercon E44 wind turbines close to Búrfell Hydro Power Plant. Initially, this project was part of Landsvirkjun’s research and development (R&D) programme into the potential advantages of wind power in Iceland. This was the first R&D feasibility study of wind energy in Iceland and the results clearly indicate that Iceland has significant potential for electricity generation utilising wind power. Owing to the success of the initial R&D phase, Landsvirkjun is now keen to examine the feasibility of two wind farm projects. Landsvirkjun is considering several delivery options in respect of these proposed projects and it is interested in exploring these with experienced wind turbine manufacturers before potentially commencing a formal procurement process. The purpose of this notice is therefore to invite expressions of interest from wind turbine manufacturers (OEMs only) who have experience in delivering wind farm projects with a capacity of 50 MW or above to participate in certain preliminary market consultations. It should be noted that, if a formal procurement process is initiated in respect of either or both projects, Landsvirkjun will conduct an open process and invite expressions of interest from all interested parties. However, at this stage, Landsvirkjun wants to ensure that its engagement with the market is very much targeted at organisations which can assist Landsvirkjun in understanding better the challenges that may arise in delivering projects of this nature. Accordingly, participation in these preliminary market consultations is focussed on manufacturers with the stated experience
