Strategic Procurement
Johnson Procurement Solutions Limited have been contracted by SNRG Limited to provide Project Procurement & Commercial post-contract support (QS) to ensure the effective selection and placing of contracts in regard to the LV Network, PV (Solar) & BESS Packages.
About the Project
SNRG will fund, install, maintain and renew the following infrastructure, providing a smart all electric supply to each of the 222 homes (120 x Product B homes and 102 x homes in 3 apartment blocks):
-Private wire microgrid distribution system to provide power to all homes - connected to the Murphy Power Distribution iDNO network via a single point of connection.
-A boundary meter (to be installed at the point of connection to the iDNO network) and a residential sub-meter for every home connected to the SmartGrid.
-Solar PV generation, designed to provide zero carbon electricity for the site, distributed across the roofs of the Product B homes and the apartment blocks and connected to the SmartGrid.
-A single communal battery energy storage system, designed to maximise the benefit of the solar PV generation and minimise the cost of energy procured from the public gird for the benefit of all future residents.
-An EV charging service for both on-drive and remote private parking arrangements.
-Hot water heating, heat pump and PV inverter control systems - designed to reduce cost by diversifying peak demand.
