About this tender

The procurement covers the design, supply of equipment, installation, integration, and commissioning of a complete demonstration energy storage installation based on hydrogen technology, delivered on a turnkey basis. The installation will produce hydrogen by electrolysis using electricity sourced exclusively from renewable energy sources (RES), store the hydrogen, and later convert it back into electricity. Its purpose is to demonstrate and operate the system under real-world conditions, verify its technical parameters, and analyse the efficiency of integrating hydrogen technologies with local energy infrastructure. Grid electricity may not be used to power the electrolyser in on-grid mode. A battery energy storage system (BESS) supporting the hydrogen process must also draw only on RES. The primary site is ul. Torowa 12, 16-100 Sokółka (plot no. 3203/25, Sokółka precinct). The contracting authority may relocate the entire hydrogen installation to another property it controls within the Sokólski district and permitted under the KPO project documentation, provided the change does not reduce the functional-utility programme (PFU) or offer parameters, alter the function, or change the general nature of the contract. The whole installation must be integrated within a mobile container structure that meets applicable transport standards. Supply and installation of the RES sources, including the photovoltaic installation, are excluded from scope. The contractor must provide full energy, functional, metering, and control integration of the storage installation with the existing or separately delivered RES source. Requirements are set out in Annex No. 4 to the SWZ (PFU). Scope includes all work needed to reach full operational readiness, including assembly, start-up, functional testing, and handover of complete technical documentation. The contract duration is not stated in the provided text.

Key requirements

• ✓Complete hydrogen energy storage installation with electrolyzer, storage and fuel-cell conversion in containerized mobile housing
• ✓Full energy, functional, measurement and control integration with existing or parallel renewable energy source (solar/wind)
• ✓Energy for hydrogen production must originate exclusively from renewable sources; on-grid mode prohibited for electrolyzer supply
• ✓Installation at ul. Torowa 12, Sokółka (16-100) or alternative site within Sokólski County; compliance with transport norms and KPO project documentation
• ✓Pilot-scale system enabling practical assessment of hydrogen storage system performance in real-world conditions

About this sector

Hydrogen and e-fuels funding supports electrolysers, production plants, storage, transport and end uses in industry, shipping and aviation. Support is often tied to low-carbon production standards and offtake from named users. Calls commonly ask for a site, a supply of renewable power and a consortium that covers production through to demand.
