Additional information

We wish to advise you that ESB has decided to cancel this current advertised Solar EPC Framework competition. The reasons for this decision are related to some delays in the development of Irish solar market which would mean it was unlikely that the framework as currently described would be fit for purpose. Apologies for any inconvenience this decision has caused.
ESB is still committed to the development of ground mounted solar PV sites in the future and to prepare for any future procurement competitions we intend to commence a Preliminary market consultation by publishing a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in the OJEU shortly to allow for full engagement with suppliers and other interested parties in the solar PV ground mounted market.
