The Development Partner / Project Co will be required to provide: - Investment - Design and build of: o a new district heat (DH) network across the City o a new private wire (PW) network across the City o new PERF heat offtake facility and expansion or modification of existing power offtake facility o a new back up energy centre for the heat network - Manage and maintain the assets - Operate the new energy networks - Manage the retailing of heat and electricity sales Following completion of the procurement process, the Council will enter into a Development Agreement with the Development Partner. Under the Development Agreement the Development Partner will commercialise the PIRI network. The Development Period is intended to be a relatively short period of time that includes the following activity: • negotiation and agreement with the Council of the offtake of heat and power from the Peterborough energy recovery facility; • negotiation and agreement of the heat and / or power supply agreements with a number of private and public sector customers (including the Council) (as further detailed in paragraph 3.5 of the Descriptive Document); • developing the financial model for the project; • securing finance for the delivery of the PIRI network • developing the design of the PIRI network; • securing the necessary consents and land rights required to deliver the PIRI network; and • procuring the contractors required to deliver the PIRI network. If it is determined in accordance with the Development Agreement that the project is to be delivered by the Development Partner, the Development Agreement shall terminate, and the parties shall enter into a Shareholders' Agreement. The Shareholders Agreement shall govern the control of the parties in respect of Project Co. Under the Shareholders' Agreement the Council's rights of control will be limited to specific reserved matters. It is anticipated that the network will provide heat and / or power to a number of private and public sector customers (including the Council) (as further detailed in the Descriptive Document) by way of contractual arrangements at the conclusion of the Development Period. Where it is determined in accordance with the Development Agreement that the Development Partner will implement the PIRI network it is the Council's intention to enter into the connection and supply arrangements (in respect of both heat and power) with Project Co without undertaking a separate procurement.
