6 Frequently Asked Questions about “New Energy Battery Procurement Contract”
Should a battery procurement contract aggregate liability in a collective project?
For example, if a developer has a number of projects supplying battery storage under a single offtake contract, then it might prefer a single battery procurement contract aggregating liability in the collective project, given that liability under the offtake contract may be connected for failure to develop the collective project.
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 .)
What is a legacy energy project?
Legacy energy projects, such as the gas turbine power plants, have traditionally been built by a third-party contractor under a lump-sum, turnkey engineering procurement and construction contract. Both lenders and project developers prefer this approach because it shifts as much risk as possible from the developer to a single EPC contract.
How has the demand for batteries changed in 2022?
Increased demand for batteries has put a strain on the market. Demand for battery metals in 2022 increased almost 30% over the prior year. The dollar-per-kilowatt ($/kW) cost of storage increased from $1,580 in the first quarter of 2021 to $1,993 in 2022.
What should you consider when buying a new battery supplier?
When considering a new supplier, buyers should carefully check the company's safety credentials and industry certifications, as well as the possible failure modes with the battery type they supply, and how these are mitigated.
Are battery energy storage systems matured?
Battery energy storage systems have matured as the technology, quality, performance and reliability have also matured. The contract structure has not. Two main issues should be considered when developing a battery energy storage system or “BESS” project. The first is the general contracting structure.
