6 FAQs about [How to negotiate energy storage projects]
How can you navigate battery energy storage systems challenges?
We discuss how you can navigate battery energy storage systems challenges with insights on procurement, risk mitigation, and project optimisation for successful delivery. Optimise market engagement and procurement efficiency by tendering based on a combination of OEM and owner/financier terms.
What is an EPC agreement for a battery energy storage system?
The negotiation of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement for a battery energy storage systems (BESS) project typically surfaces many of the same contractual risk allocation issues that one encounters in the negotiation of an EPC agreement for a solar or wind project.
How do energy storage contracts work?
For standalone energy storage contracts, these are typically structured with a fixed monthly capacity payment plus some variable cost per megawatt hour (MWh) of throughput. For a combined renewables-plus-storage project, it may be structured with an energy-only price in lieu of a fixed monthly capacity payment.
Will energy storage save the energy industry?
It’s generation . . . it’s transmission . . . it’s energy storage! The renewable energy industry continues to view energy storage as the superhero that will save it from its greatest problem—intermittent energy production and the resulting grid reliability issues that such intermittent generation engenders.
How to improve energy storage industry competitiveness?
Efficient manufacturing and robust supply chain management are important for industry competitiveness of energy storage: Establishing domestic manufacturing facilities and supply chains, along with diversification through free trade agreement countries, can enhance the resilience of the energy storage industry.
What is the general contracting structure for a battery energy storage system?
The first, and the topic of an earlier article, is the general contracting structure. Developers of battery energy storage system, or BESS, projects are using a multi-contractor, split-scope contracting structure instead of the more traditional single-contractor, turnkey approach. (See "Battery Purchase Contracts" in the December 2021 NewsWire .)
