However, more contractors specialising in battery storage will undoubtedly emerge both due to its importance and scope, and also as a result of the ability of storage systems to be integrated within existing and new-build power generation projects.
The legal and contractual issues associated with development, construction, and operation of a battery storage project are similar to those of other power projects, but owners/developers should keep in mind some key issues, particularly around equipment supply contracts, real estate, and shared facilities.
Battery project developers should take into account the constantly evolving economic and political environments that impact procurement of energy storage equipment.
IEC TC 120 has recently published a new standard which looks at how battery-based energy storage systems can use recycled batteries. IEC 62933‑4‑4, aims to “review the possible impacts to the environment resulting from reused batteries and to define the appropriate requirements”.
Battery storage projects often use nationally or internationally recognised standard form contracts with amendments as necessary to reflect the relevant procurer's requirements as to risk transfer and retention.
Research at the cross section of nanomaterials and electrochemistry will enable the energy storage research community to push the boundaries of the lifetime and power densities of Li-ion batteries. Advances improving calendar and cycle life would relax the periodical need for large quantity of rare materials to replace old batteries.

What is an Energy Storage Project? An energy storage project is a cluster of battery banks (or modules) that are connected to the electrical grid. These battery banks are roughly the same size as a shipping container. These are also called Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), or grid-scale/utility-scale energy storage or battery storage systems.
New energy storage projects usually consist of banks of lithium-ion batteries which can offer community benefits such as resiliency. But they may also raise questions related to health and safety for those living near these …
