France - Hydrogène - Fourniture d'un module d'électrolyseur PEM de 30MW, BoS, optimisé pour une exploitation sur une plateforme en mer

This procedure is in the continuation of a previous one referenced 2023/S 181-565305. This Market notice aims at qualifying candidates as per Innovative partenership agreement based on European procedure to select a partner as supplier for a “ 30 MW PEM Electrolyzer supply optimized for operation on a platform at sea” by late December 2025 on Hyode project. The development of hydrogen production from renewable electricity is an important part of France and Europe's decarbonization plan. Considering the expected volumes of hydrogen, all decarbonized electricity sources - including offshore wind energy - must be utilized. In this context, EDF Renewables aims to develop an innovative solution through EU innovation partnership procedure, involving hydrogen production by electrolysis at sea, the storage and transportation of the produced hydrogen by ship to the port, thereby giving a significant boost to an emerging industrial sector. The power supply will be provided by the contracting entity. The contracting authority informs candidates that a portion of the innovation funds has been secured, allowing the Hyode project to progress. As an overview, the Hyode project is divided into 3 lots with COD planned by Q1 2031. The present procedure only focuses on the Lot 2 as per below: • Lot 1: Fixed hydrogen production platform at sea including the transfer solution from the platform to the gaseous hydrogen transport ship (partnership already secured by contract) • Lot 2: Supply of 30MW PEM Electrolyzer module, BoS and optimized for operation on a platform at sea (to become subcontractor of Lot 1 during FEED phase) • Lot 3: Gaseous hydrogen transport ship meeting the constraints of the platform and the port intended to receive the gaseous hydrogen and compatible with the transfer system from the production platform (partnership already secured by contract) For information: EDF Renouvelables announces a change in its company name to EDF power solutions, effective from 15th of September 2025 IMPORTANT: please refer to detailed limits of scope and interfaces with Lot 1 (platform) in Annex 1 onto https://pha2.edf.com/ Procurement Notices ref AVIS018997. Lot 2 is the Supply of 30MW PEM Electrolyzer module, BoS and optimized for operation on a platform at sea comprising: - Supply - Integration - Testing - Pre -commissioning plan - Commissioning plan Reminder :This Market Notice follows a previous Notice referenced 2023/S 181-565305, which allowed qualification on Lots 1 and 3 (with Lot 2 still to be qualified). The contracting authority reserves the right to terminate the Partnership Contracts in accordance with the provisions set forth therein and in accordance with Article R. 2172-31 of the Public Procurement Code. Phasing of Lot 2 : - T0 = Launch of Market notice (“Avis de marché”) - T0 + 2 months = Submission of application by candidates - T0 + 3 months: Qualification of maximum 2 candidates (=T1) - T1 + 2 months: signature with EDF Renouvelables (to become EDF power solutions) of 1 or 2 innovation partnership agreements to perform pre-FEED studies with Lot 1 and/or Lot 3 partners (=T2) - T2 + 6 months = selection of one unique Lot 2 partner as Subcontractor fo Lot 1 to move forward until COD - Continuation as electrolyzer subcontractor of Lot 1 partner (plafform) during project operations The partnership agreement related to Lot 2 will consist for the qualified candidate(s) of performing engineering studies (pre-FEED) in close interaction with the Lot 1 (platform) partner to develop a specific offshore electrolysis unit design in accordance with HYODE project specifications.
