UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

Project Overview - St Helena Island , a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, is committed to a sustainable future by integrating renewable energy sources. The island has a set target to expand from the current 20% electricity generation from renewable energy to 80% by 2027/28. In pursuit of this vision, Connect Saint Helena Ltd invites Expressions of Interest from experienced professionals in the renewable energy sector to prepare final energy modelling and designs for a reliable and cost-effective energy hybrid solution for St. Helena. Building on earlier work undertaken by Connect Saint Helena Ltd, the solution will consider the expansion of the existing solar farm and wind farm, as well as other renewable energy technologies and the introduction of a Battery Energy Storage System.

The Island of St Helena is an internally self-governing Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom located in the South Atlantis approximately 4,000 miles from the UK. The Government comprises a Governor (who is appointed by the Crown) an Executive Council, which has the general control and direction of Government, and a Legislative Council. The Governor retains responsibility for internal security, external affairs, defence, the public service, finance and shipping. The Island's population is around 4,400 (2021 Census) and it has a typical small island economy with a high import dependency, a narrow economic base, a large public sector and significant outward labour migration. St Helena receives UK Government financial assistance to support recurrent and capital expenditure as part of their obligation to ensure that the reasonable needs of the population are met. The Island is currently served by a weekly flight from Johannesburg, and a 6 -weekly supply ship from Walvis Bay, Namibia.
