This Request for Tender is for the provision of electricity generated by up to 30 rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems installed on public housing premises located across Darwin-Palmerston and Tennant Creek.

Jacana Energy is undertaking this procurement as part of the Solar for Social Housing Trial Project (“the Trial”) that aims to test the commercial viability and technical solutions to deliver lower-cost energy for tenants. Being a trial, 30 rooftop solar energy systems will be installed at public housing properties owned by the Northern Territory Department of Territory Families, Housing and Communities (TFHC) in Darwin-Palmerston (15 units) and Tennant Creek (15 units). To test a range of scenarios, properties will be selected by Jacana Energy and TFHC and include a mix of prepaid and standard metered households, in urban settings.

The supply of the solar PV systems, installation and ongoing operations, maintenance and general asset management will be procured under the terms of either a Power Purchase Agreement or an Operating Lease.
