II.2.4. Description
Fluxys is currently evaluating the installation of local photovoltaic production to cover part of its electricity consumption on large operational sites   . The power to be installed will be very variable, depending on the current electrical consumption of the station, the available areas, and the constructability on these available areas.   The present qualification concerns the installation of PV fields with a minimum power of 500kWp up to 6MWp (and potentially more).   Applicants should be capable to provide full range of services: the detailed design of the installation, the supply of the necessary equipment, as well as all the work required for construction this type of installation, ranging from the civil engineering works required for the preparation of the site, the buildings for electrical components, the laying of the metal structures and the PV panels, the electrical works for the electrical connections (from high voltage existing connection up to the panels), the laying of the cables (HV LV) up to the fields, the commissioning, the reinstatement of the site after works, and the supervision and control of the installation.   Modifications on HV ELIA or LV DNB installations is excluded from the scope.   As part of this qualification, Fluxys is also looking for contractors who can subsequently do the maintenance on such installations, maintain the electrical equipment, the panels and inverters, as well as maintenance of the grounds - planting and ground cover, as well as managing specific spare parts. (The scope of services, tendering and separate contracts might be separately tendered per site).   The projects envisaged are mostly to be planned at medium or high voltage (requiring the installation of transformers as part of the scope), and the voltage level will vary for each site (6KV,15KV, 36KV,.). The first project is currently planned to be connected to a 15KV network.   For the time being (2022), projects are to be installed on the ground, but experience in the installation of floating solar panels, or installation on existing structures is a plus.   Out of the pool of qualified candidates those with an average yearly turnover (see criterion 1 in section III 1.9) at least 2 times estimated project investment budget will be invited to tender.
