Purpose:

Bristol City Council have been successfully awarded funding from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to delivery energy saving measures to low-income, low-EPC rated households within Bristol and North Somerset. Bristol City Council’s Energy Service have developed the Bright Green Homes project and intend to install Solar PV systems and other energy saving measures to homes with this funding.

Decision:

To award a contract to the successful tenderer for the provision of design, supply and installation of Solar PV systems to 175 homes across Bristol and North Somerset

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - During analysis of housing stock within Bristol, the best types of measures identified to install were External Wall Insulation, Underfloor Insulation and Solar PV. Due to the tight delivery timescales of this project needing to be completed by September 2021, it was decided the best measures to install are those with smaller installation times like Solar PV than the three weeks it takes to install External Wall Insulation.
