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 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.

What is a wrapped EPC?

For most projects, the wrapped EPC has long been the preferred delivery model for owners (and financiers), because it provides the owner with a turnkey product and a single point of accountability in the case of defects and performance issues.

What should I do if an EPC is not 'best for project'?

It is a dynamic market and traditional models (e.g. wrapped EPC) may not be 'best for project'. Ensure tender flexibility for adjustments and if the scope is split, map OEM-BOP interactions for risk mitigation. Align internal approval timing with connection progress and commitments for pricing and manufacturing slots with OEM and BOP contractor.
