The Government of Bermuda has launched the tender process to seeks developer for a 6 MW utility-scale solar photo-voltaic (PV) project.
The Ministry for Public Works and the Ministry of Economic Development is making available a Government owned property located on a portion of the narrow peninsula known as the Finger at the L.F. Wade International Airport on St. David’s Island in Bermuda for a solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation facility. This approximately 15-acre property will be leased to the selected independent power producer (IPP), for a period of 21 years.
The selected IPP will be responsible for designing, building, financing, operating and maintaining a 6 MW utility-scale solar PV facility and the interconnection line connecting the facility to a pre-identified substation The IPP will be able to sell the energy produced to the Bermuda Electric Lighting Company (BELCO) on a per-kilowatt-hour basis for a period of 20 years. In addition, the IPP will be responsible for decommissioning the facility and restoring the site to a pre-agreed state at the end of the lease term.
In future, the Government may consider procuring an additional 10 MW to 12 MW of solar PV power, through a separate procurement process, for the Finger’s remaining area.
