So, as you’re drafting the power purchase agreement, you make sure to pencil in a battery energy storage system into the budget and move on to more important details. This is a flaw that many attorneys make when contracting with renewable energy companies where a battery energy storage system is included in the terms.
An Energy Storage Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) refers to contracts for the sale of electricity from energy storage systems. Some forms of energy storage, such as battery systems, have a longer useful life than the related generating source. In such cases, individual batteries can often be replaced and the unit will carry on.
In the context of a solar project, the power contract covers both the solar and energy storage systems, as they are typically treated as a single system. There is a natural synergy between the two.
But the energy company managed to convince them by informing them about a piece of technology called a battery energy storage system. These battery energy storage systems have the ability to store renewable energy to be used at times when the source of renewable energy production is unavailable, i.e., the wind stops blowing.
In an energy storage tolling agreement, the seller develops, owns, and operates the energy storage system, while the offtaker supplies charging energy. Therefore, the energy in the system belongs to the offtaker.
First and foremost, the parties must decide upon the type of battery energy storage unit they will be utilizing. As previously discussed, the utilization of lithium-ion batteries is currently the popular form of battery storage. However, there are other types of BESS both in current operations and that are being developed.
