    "description": "United Utilities is committed to building a greener energy portfolio that reduces operational carbon emissions and supports our ambition to achieve net\u2011zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As one of the largest water and wastewater service providers in the UK, we operate more than 100 water treatment works and 575 wastewater treatment works across the North West of England. These sites have significant energy demands and require robust power resilience to maintain essential services for our customers. Our operational footprint across the region presents substantial opportunities to integrate low\u2011carbon and renewable energy solutions. Many of our sites have available land or roof space suitable for on\u2011site generation. In addition, we are seeking opportunities for work with existing or upcoming renewable generation assets close to our operational sites to develop private\u2011wire Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). Together, these opportunities support our drive to reduce operational emissions and contribute to a greener, stronger, and healthier North West. To advance this ambition, we are seeking long\u2011term Power Purchase Agreements through a procurement process structured into three parts: Part 1: Existing Generation: Low\u2011carbon or renewable generation assets that are currently available\u2014or expected to become available\u2014for private\u2011wire connection within the North West of England. Part 2: Site\u2011Based Development: Low\u2011carbon or renewable generation projects that can be developed on United Utilities\u2011owned land within the region. Part 3: Site\u2011Based Development (Roof\u2011Mounted): Solar PV installations that can be developed on suitable roof areas across United Utilities\u2019 property portfolio in the North West. Suppliers may bid for all three parts or select any individual part that aligns with their expertise, capabilities, and experience.",
