FAQS 4

What are the different types of procurement contracts?

There are three key types of procurement contracts—power purchase agreements (PPAs) or energy storage services agreements; engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreements; and build-transfer agreements (BTAs)—and several key risks that must be allocated between the parties.

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 electricity be procured via PPA?

Electricity procurement via PPAs Electricity for the operation of the EL, HCU and BESS can be procured via as-produced-PPA contracts x p with renewable energy power plants for a specified capacity power generation. We bound the number of available PPA contracts in order to avoid the procurement of low-volume contracts or excessive overcapacity.

Should you buy a battery optimisation company?

While initially, many players preferred in-house capabilities to save cost, as battery complexity increases, more players are opting for third-party or acquiring optimisation companies. In this model, depending on the contract terms, the owner and optimisation company will share the project’s revenue or profit.
