Should you choose an EPC contract for a solar project?
Given the significant monetary value of EPC Contracts, and the potential adverse consequences if problems occur during construction, the lowest price should not be the only factor used when selecting a Contractor. As noted earlier, an EPC Contract is one of a suite of agreements necessary to develop a solar project.
What is an EPC agreement for a battery energy storage system?
The negotiation of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement for a battery energy storage systems (BESS) project typically surfaces many of the same contractual risk allocation issues that one encounters in the negotiation of an EPC agreement for a solar or wind project.
What is an EPC contract?
An EPC Contract delivers these requirements in a single integrated package, which is one of the major reasons why EPC Contracts are the most common form of construction contract used in project-financed utility-scale solar projects. The key clauses in any construction contract are those that impact on time, cost and quality.
What is an EPC agreement containing Bess project performance guarantees?
An EPC agreement containing BESS project performance guarantees will contain detailed testing procedures as well as provisions for liquidated damages in the event that a constructed BESS project is unable to pass applicable performance testing.
