4 FAQs about Long-term procurement contract for photovoltaic energy storage cabinet

Does a power contract cover energy storage?

There are several energy storage models, each requiring different approaches to product definitions and performance parameters. The most prevalent model appears to be storage combined with a solar project, where the two are treated as a single system. Therefore, the power contract covers both. There is a natural synergy.

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.

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 PPA for new energy storage resources?

Some PPAs for new energy storage resources have been structured as capacity-only contracts in which the developer is responsible for the sale of energy and all costs associated therewith—including the costs of the required energy procured from the utility.
