EDA announces the contract notice for the competitive dialogue “European Armed Forces GO GREEN” (GO GREEN), inviting industrial candidates to submit their requests to participate in this procedure. Interested parties can consult the contract notice and tender specifications available here.
EDA supports its participating Member States in establishing and promoting innovative concepts and collaboration in the area of renewable energy production and energy efficiency as a means of becoming less dependent on expensive and unstable energy sources and of increasing compatible renewable energy development.
Through the GO GREEN project, contributing Member States will develop and demonstrate a generic photovoltaic power generation exploitation model that could subsequently be used more widely in their nations as well as expanded to other EU Member States as well as other sources of renewable energy. The final target is to demonstrate the production and use of renewable energy for Armed Forces by installing photovoltaic panels on dedicated national pilot sites with benchmarking at the end of the project.
The GO GREEN project was officially launched at the European Defence Agency Steering Board on March 22nd, 2012 with the participation of six EDA participating MS (Austria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg), with Germany as lead nation. Romania joined the project in June 2012 as the seventh contributing Member State.
