University of Waikato

272778 Carpark Solar Installations - Invitation to Participate

The University of Waikato will be facilitating face to face discussions using a Competitive Dialogue Process to investigate options for the design, financing, installation, and long-term operation of a ~2MW solar photovoltaic (PV) carpark array under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Energy Services Agreement (ESA) or other off balance sheet financing option.

This project supports our sustainability goals and energy resilience strategy while offering a long-term partnership opportunity.

This is a rare opportunity to partner with a leading New Zealand university on a high-profile renewable energy project. You’ll be contributing to decarbonisation in the tertiary sector and gain visibility across government, industry, and academia.

The project is backed by senior leadership and is a cornerstone of our energy and sustainability strategy.

Please refer to MBIE's guidance on the ITP / Competitive Dialogue process - we are not looking for a full solution in the first step of this Multi-Step procurement process.
