Technical requirements: Procurement and delivery of electricity, as well as portfolio management with the accompanying services
Stavanger and Sandnes Municipalities would like to enter into a framework agreement via this contest with one - 1 - and the same tenderer for the procurement and delivery of electricity, as well as for portfolio management with the accompanying services.
An independent administrator will be procured, who, on behalf of the contracting authorities, will carry out:
The aim of the procurement is to ensure good management for the Contracting Authorities of the energy portfolio and the supply of energy at reasonable and stable prices. In addition, procurements, invoicing and consumption are to be provided as rationally and cost effective as possible.
The tenderer will, as a clearing customer at Nord Pool, undertake all physical trade (applies for both Sandnes and Stavanger Municipalities) and financial trade (only applies for Stavanger Municipality) with energy in their own name and at their own risk, and will, thereby, have complete supervision of and liability for the portfolio.
The municipalities must have their own portfolios in the tenderer's system, so that physical trade and financial trade for the municipalities are kept separate from energy sales and management from other customers and any self-trade.
Sandnes Municipality needs an energy administrator and price model that makes it possible to trade electricity only at spot price. Financial trade is not included in the service requirements for Sandnes Municipality in this procurement.
Sandnes Municipality has previously had active portfolio management for optimising financial trade based on market movements, and currently has a security degree and security price for 2021 of 9% - NOK 447.8 / MWh, 22% - NOK 300.4 / MWh for 2022, and 22% - NOK 306.3 / MWh for 2023. Sandnes Municipality will not enter into further financial positions in the coming new framework agreement. The future energy administrator will take over these price security contracts. See the tender documentation, point 9.2, for further details on this.
Stavanger Municipality would like to enter into a new portfolio contract where the energy administrator will have the leeway to follow the price development in the energy market.
The basis when preparing a tender is, amongst other things, that the goal shall be that the standing energy price shall be lower than the reference price (area price in NO2).
Emphasis is put on the fact that Stavanger Municipality currently has active financial positions in the market with a security degree and security price for 2021 of 54% - NOK 286.1 / MWh, 30% - NOK 278.4 / MWh for 2022, and 22% - NOK 302.0 / MWh for 2023. The future energy administrator will take over these price security contracts.
The chosen tenderer will receive a success fee of up to 20% of the excess value that the administrator achieves through the energy management. The excess value will be calculated annually based on the difference between the actual achieved price and the reference price (area price in NO2).
