The federally funded project involves a $767 million investment. Puerto Rico Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón announced the signing of a contract between Genera PR and Tesla for the acquisition of
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.
In this context, a developer will often seek to enter into a supply agreement for the Battery Energy Storage System ("BESS"), which will then be supplied to the civil works contractor for installation and commissioning.
Commissioning is required by the owner to ensure proper operation for the system warranty to be valid. The activities relative to the overall design / build of an energy storage system (ESS) are described next. The details of the commissioning activities are described in Section 2. Figure 1. Overall flow of ESS initial project phases
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.
Many supply agreements are signed more than a year in advance of anticipated delivery. In the interim period, unforeseen issues may arise that require a developer to push back the delivery date or to reallocate equipment to other projects. It is best to negotiate an adjustment mechanism up front.
Each subsystem must pass a factory witness test (FWT) before shipping. (Note: The system owner reserves the right to be present for the factory witness test.) This is the first real step of the commissioning process—which occurs even before the energy storage subsystems (e.g., power conditioning equipment and battery) are delivered to the site.
