Description

The provision of innovative fault ride through / island mode stability / fast response (hereafter referred to as 'Standby') services or equipment by November 2024 to provide continued security of supply to homes and businesses on the islands in the event of planned or unplanned outages on the transmission link. When the Transmission Link is unavailable incorporating both the subsea link and wider transmission network, due to outages or faults, it will be necessary for Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution PLC (SHEPD) to provide a reliable standby supply for Shetland. SHEPD intends to convert the existing Lerwick Power Station (LPS) to operate in standby mode, capable of being started and generating power to Shetland within 30-60 minutes. There will be a requirement for additional standby equipment and/or services to provide the energy, stability and voltage support to SHEPD's Shetland network until LPS generators can be started and supplying customers. SHEPD now wishes to pre-qualify suitable suppliers to provide Standby equipment or services As more fully described in the Pre Qualification Information Pack
