PRF 1572: Soft Market Test for the delivery of PIRI (Peterborough Integrated Renewable Infrastructure)

Peterborough City Council is exploring the market to support the delivery and procurement for the PIRI (Peterborough Integrated Renewal Infrastructure) Project. The UK Government targets all sectors of the UK economy to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Peterborough City Council aims to lead by example and has committed to achieve 100% clean energy across the council’s full range of functions by 2030 and explore renewable generation and storage. In support of these aims, PIRI aims to deliver low-cost and low carbon emission energy for the Peterborough community. Developing an integrated energy system design for electricity, heat and transport will provide benefits to the community and business not just in Peterborough but around the UK. PIRI is working to demonstrate an investment-ready case that can be transferred to other cities.
