6 FAQs about [Energy storage project epc bidding process]
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.
What is an EPC agreement?
EPC agreements may also provide the EPC contractor the ability to permanently “buy down” BESS project performance via payment of agreed liquidated damages, subject typically to specified minimum levels of performance required to be met or exceeded under all circumstances. Decommissioning and disposal
What are the implications of a combined renewables-plus-storage project?
There will be important implications for a combined renewables-plus-storage project depending upon whether the project is DC coupled or AC coupled. For example, AC coupled systems are generally viewed as being simpler since the renewable energy storage can be connected separately with AC power.
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.
Does an EPC agreement include a decommissioning plan?
To the extent decommissioning is addressed in the EPC agreement and the obligation allocated to the EPC contractor, a specific decommissioning plan will often be attached as an exhibit to the EPC agreement.
How many new energy storage projects are commissioned in China?
