Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage Project EPC: Challenges and Opportunities with Chris W. from Spearmint Energy. In this presentation, Chris will talk about how As decarbonization of the electric power system continues to take center stage, the increased integration of intermittent renewable energy on the electrical power grid is being enabled by energy storage. Battery energy storage systems not only allow excess renewable generation to be stored and released at times of higher load, but are increasingly providing reliability services to the grid throughout North America. The Engineering, Procurement and Construction of these projects brings both challenges and opportunities for Project Developers. Engineering and Procurement challenges range from optimizing electrical designs to managing a global supply chain. Construction challenges and opportunities include high levels of control system integration, low levels of equipment standardization and interconnection delays. Even with these challenges, the opportunities are even greater for further decreases in costs, along with improvements in performance and functionality. https://lnkd.in/emA44_uv Save $150 with Discount Code SPK150. #Floridabattery

Solar module procurement is complex, and all of the efforts of the United States government to clean up the supply chain and incentivize more domestic manufacturing, has only added to that immense complexity. This is why we put the spotlight on Anza Renewables in our Q1 2023 magazine. Spun out of Borrego, Anza is a solar module and energy storage procurement platform that allows EPCs, developers, and IPPs to tap into that engineering expertise and streamline all of the PV purchasing complexity. Fast forward a year, and Anza is rolling out expanded capabilities that give buyers the ability to instantly organize and rank every technical, commercial, supply chain, and risk-related aspect of equipment required to select the ideal modules for solar projects. https://lnkd.in/dYgYWt92

Is Engineering, Procurement, and Construction The Backbone of Solar PV and BESS Projects? The burgeoning demand for sustainable energy solutions has propelled solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to the forefront of the global energy landscape. At the heart of these transformative projects lies the expertise of engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies. EPC companies play a pivotal role in the successful realisation of solar PV and BESS projects. Their comprehensive skill set encompasses: - Engineering: From initial design and feasibility studies to detailed engineering plans, EPC companies ensure that projects are technically sound and aligned with industry standards. - Procurement: Their strategic sourcing capabilities guarantee the procurement of high-quality components and materials at competitive prices, contributing to project efficiency and cost-effectiveness. - Construction: EPC companies possess the expertise to manage construction activities, oversee installation, and ensure adherence to safety and quality standards, delivering projects on time and within budget. The proficiency of EPC companies is driving the growth of solar PV and BESS projects worldwide by: - Accelerating project timelines: Their streamlined processes and efficient project management enable faster deployment of renewable energy solutions. - Minimising project risks: Their deep understanding of industry best practices and experience in managing complex projects mitigates potential challenges and ensures project success. - Optimising project costs: Through effective procurement and construction management, EPC companies help to reduce project expenses and improve return on investment. - Ensuring project quality: Their commitment to quality assurance guarantees that projects meet or exceed industry standards, delivering reliable and long-lasting renewable energy solutions. At Eversolar, we are proud to be at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution. Our EPC expertise empowers us to deliver innovative and sustainable solar PV and BESS projects that contribute to a cleaner and greener future. Join us in shaping a sustainable tomorrow. Let's harness the power of the sun together!

In an EPC contract, the contractor takes full responsibility for designing, procuring and constructing the renewable energy project. The contractor is responsible for delivering the project on time, within budget, and to the agreed-upon specifications and standards. The developer typically provides a defined scope of work and sets the budget for the project, but the contractor is responsible for all aspects of its delivery. In an EPCM contract, the contractor provides construction management services to the developer rather than taking full responsibility for the project. The developer retains control over the design and procurement of the project, while the contractor provides management and supervision of the construction process. The EPCM contractor provides expertise and oversight to ensure that the project is built to the agreed-upon specifications and standards, but the developer is responsible for the actual construction work and procurement of materials and equipment. In summary, an EPC contract provides a turn-key solution for the developer, while an EPCM contract provides support and expertise for the developer to manage the construction process themselves.
