Energy Storage Procurement and Lessons Learned

The foundation of a successful battery energy storage system (BESS) project begins with a sound procurement process. What ideas do you have to make this concept unique and worth accepting? CEA has a unique lens on the procurement process in that CEA has reviewed and successfully assisted our Clients with dozens of BESS Term Sheets, MSA’s and LTSA. CEA also provides boots-on-the-ground quality assurance services in BESS factories around the world. Effectively procuring energy storage is a real challenge today. Automotive buyers are dominating demand for the lithium-ion market, and battery prices have started increasing for the first time. To make matters more challenging, not all battery manufacturers are equal - engaging new suppliers can carry additional commercial and technical risk.
