This letter summarises procurement status for Port Gabriella Storage Scheme (TAC-2026-0005) as at 2026-06-07T11:23:08.000Z. It is issued by the project’s delivery team to support deliverability review against Wolftown BSP · 66 kV class interface and the target export capability of 35 MW (export).
| Package | Status | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| HV transformers | RFQ issued | Delivery slot reserved Q4; final specs tied to TO model v3. |
| MV switchgear | Technical bid evaluation | Shortlist of two vendors; FAT dates proposed. |
| Inverters / PCS | Pre-order discussion | Harmonic compliance study loop with protection team. |
Inverter discussions reference harmonic study loops but do not state whether operation is grid-forming or grid-following.
Reinforcement dependencies
Upstream works remain coordinated with the host operator programme. Any slippage beyond the window assumed in TAC-2026-0005 will be escalated under the governance protocol and reflected in the critical-path update.
Procurement Letter 1 — supporting appendix
This appendix (sheet 3) supplements TAC-2026-0005 for Port Gabriella Storage Scheme. It cross-references the declared export capability (35 MW (export)), the technology mix (solar_pv), and the connection scope at Wolftown BSP · 66 kV class interface. Figures in the operator-facing pack may supersede this extract where stamped “controlled copy”.
HV transformers, MV switchgear, and inverter/PCS packages are named with reservation or evaluation status.
| Workstream | Cross-ref | Operator review notes |
|---|---|---|
| Land & access | LA-3 | Verify red-line, access rights, and any wayleave assumptions against latest survey. |
| Planning & consent | PC-3 | Confirm commencement conditions and discharge of pre-commencement items. |
| Electrical design | EL-3 | Align SLD, protection, and fault level study with latest DNO / TO model version. |
| Programme | PR-3 | Critical path through reinforcement, primary plant, and commissioning tests. |
The transformer reservation is stated to lapse on 2026-06-15, before planned construction start on 2026-07-01.
