The Energy Storage Supply Landscape: A Guide to BESS Procurement

Navigating the energy storage procurement process can be a daunting task. Developers havemany obstacles to face, including managing complex supply chains, securing favorable terms, ensuring timely delivery, and maintaining product quality.

Overall, procurement for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects can often be so complex that important details can easily be overlooked. Missteps may lead to significant costs down the road, including unexpected change orders, poor system performance and, in the worst cases, safety issues once assets are in operation.

Proper contract review and negotiation can mitigate many of the risks for buyers of BESS equipment, however, understanding and applying best practices takes time and know-how.

Another challenge for buyers is the complex upstream supply chain, particularly for the battery cell, which can have separate supply chains for multiple key inputs. This can make it difficult to meet traceability and code of conduct requirements.

In this webinar, energy storage experts from Clean Energy Associates (CEA) will provide a comprehensive guide to BESS procurement.

They will address key questions such as:

• How to choose the right supplier for your project or portfolio?
• What terms should be included in your contract to ensure product quality?
• How can liability be minimised at each stage of the project?
• What are the strategies to meet upstream traceability and code of conduct requirements?
• How might tariffs and other market risks impact the BESS supply chain?

Join us for an insightful webinar featuring CEA’s energy storage procurement experts Jeff Zwijack, Jeff Burkett and Aaron Marks.
