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 project?
An Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) project is 'a complex transaction involving a set of products, services and construction works designed specifically to complete a specific asset for a customer within a certain period of time: a building, a turnkey factory, a power plant, a weapons system, or the like' Cova and Hoskins.
EPC integrates planning, technology, and execution to overcome challenges in renewable energy projects. We mitigate risks like cost overruns and project delays while delivering systems optimized for performance and reliability. Selecting the right partner for solar and battery projects is crucial for long-term project success.
In EPC projects, time can be considered a resource and managed for speed. Our paper aimed to remain within the framework of a structural analysis and demonstrate this concept.
