Finland – Exploitatie van elektrische installaties – Sähköntuotannon tuotantovarauksen yhteistyökumppanin hankinta/OSALLISTUMISPYYNTÖ

HVK's contract for electricity production capacity ends at the end of 2026. At the end of the contract period, HVK will need to procure a new, similar production capacity procurement process. The procurement is based on the reserve capacity arrangement stipulated in Section 13 of the Security of Supply Act (1390/1992). HVK's goal is to create a production capacity package consisting of several suitable facilities and one operator responsible for maintaining the overall package. HVK will enter into a contract with the operator for the maintenance of the electricity production capacity package, known as a service procurement. The goal is an electricity production capacity outside the electricity market, intended for severe disruptions and exceptional situations, and not for balancing electricity price peaks or short-term flexibility needs in electricity consumption and production. In the target operating model, the operator:

- plans and collects the facility inventory with sufficient electricity production capacity in close cooperation with HVK

- maintains the entire contract inventory and develops the performance of the facility inventory according to the plans made with HVK

- is responsible for the maintenance and readiness of the facilities according to the production capacity contract (including fuel procurement)

- acts as the centralized operator and electricity market actor when the production capacity is used

- maintains the necessary up-to-date reporting to HVK on the performance, costs, and development needs of the overall package.

In the quality assessment, for example, the contractor's ability to produce the organizational and technical capability required by the operator is assessed, taking into account the requirements of normal and exceptional conditions, as well as the prerequisites for integrating a sufficient amount of capacity into the overall package. Additionally, the contractor's ability to operate nationally, in Finland, and to maintain the facility inventory, as well as the demonstrated ability to act reliably and responsibly as an electricity market actor, is considered in terms of quality. The contractor's compensation will be formed from the management element of the service. In the tender phase, the weight of quality will be in the range of 60-70% and the weight of price 30-40%. In quality, for example, the extent of decentralized use and maintenance operations will be assessed. The target contract period is approximately 10 years in total. The division of the contract period into the actual contract period and options is a subject for negotiation. This is a participation request, from which up to three participants will be selected for the tender phase. The selection criteria are presented in the section Procurement Object Criteria. HVK may proceed to the tender phase even if there are fewer than three participants.
