MS-5116/ATS - Supply of Electricity to CERN

This Market Survey concerns the multi-year supply of electricity to CERN across two distinct periods. The first concerns the delivery of up to 500 GWh per year on a block and spot contract basis during the 2027–2028 period, when CERN's accelerator complex will be shut down for scheduled maintenance and upgrade activities. The second period concerns the supply of up to 1,500 GWh per year, with integrated consumption flexibility around a reference load curve being a critical element of the contract, after the accelerator restart and the respective operational period from 2029 to 2033. At the same time, CERN needs to integrate its Photovoltaic (PV) Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA) via an Aggregator into its main electricity supply; this is included as an option in the current Market Survey. The Market Survey will be followed by two separate Invitations to Tender (one for each of the afore-mentioned periods) to qualified and selected firms.
