Tender Description

Northern Gas Networks (NGN) has been given the go ahead by Government and Ofgem to develop its proposals to create the UK's first hydrogen village. As such the Redcar Hydrogen Community is a proposal from Northern Gas Networks (NGN) to supply around 2,000 homes in an area of Redcar and parts of Kirkleatham with locally produced, clean burning hydrogen from 2025. The hydrogen production capacity will be delivered by the neighbouring Teesside cluster with over 2,500 MW of low carbon hydrogen expected to come online by 2030.
NGN have identified that, to provide a resilient trial, they will require storage for intraday changes in demand profile as well as inter-seasonal storage to make up for the difference between summer and winter production and demand profiles. This will include:
Fixed storage to buffer supply and demand provided by above ground pressure vessels.
Pressure reduction and odorant injection to allow safe hydrogen usage in the community.
Interconnecting pipelines between the producers, above ground storage and distribution network
This Contract Notice is the first stage of a multistage procurement process which will seek to identify a suitable supplier to provide the VENT STACK including snuffing and purging packages.
