Title: Modelling Park & Ride Sites as Zero Carbon Facilities (PIN)
Description: What is the purpose of this market engagement? Ahead of publishing this opportunity in late October 2023, Essex County Council is looking to assess the interest and capability of the market to provide and deliver the requirement, as set out in the Project Description below, and would like to invite parties meeting the requirements to register their interest in this opportunity and respond to the questions set out in section 4 below. The contract will commence in November 2023 and end in March 2024.

Project Description The facilities would serve as hubs for power generation with solar PV as the base case. In time, the facilities could also provide a range of power-related services including electric vehicle charging, power supply offtake to the local area and power network balancing services. The changing nature of park and ride facilities will be a key consideration within the project. The project partners recognise that different financing and operating models will need to be considered taking account of different travel and transport needs for the localities as we transition to zero carbon mobility for individuals, businesses, and communities. The project scope will therefore include exploration of the role of park and ride facilities as multi-modal transport refuelling centres.

Project Aim The aim of the project is to help the public sector develop Park and Ride sites and potentially other public car parking assets, as local Hubs to address Net Zero and delivering wider value into the locality.

Objectives

To design a suite of tecno-economic assessment materials to assist local authorities and other public sector organisations in the evaluation of the potential opportunity for park and ride sites to act as net zero hubs.

To test the materials to help local authorities develop business case(s) based around a minimum suite of low-zero carbon technologies, financing arrangements and delivery options for developing renewable energy schemes (including renewable energy generation, storage, local use of power and EV charging).on.

To collaborate with the project partners located across the Greater South East Hub area, with the capability of replication for use beyond the project team’s Park and Ride portfolio.
