What are the challenges of procurement for utility-side storage & solar-plus projects?
The challenges of procurement for utility-side storage and solar-plus projects center largely on early-stage decisions: defining the top-priority use case, but also exploring ways to get more value out of the project and to prepare for market changes over its life.
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.
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.
