In our experience, most utility-scale solar projects use an EPC Contract. An operation and maintenance agreement: This is usually a medium- to long-term Operating and Maintenance Agreement (O&M Agreement) with an Operator. The term of the O&M Agreement will vary from project to project.
There are three key types of procurement contracts—power purchase agreements (PPAs) or energy storage services agreements; engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreements; and build-transfer agreements (BTAs)—and several key risks that must be allocated between the parties.
The services included by the contractor shall include operation and maintenance of all components of solar PV systems for the life of the contract, as detailed herein.
As the energy stored in the battery belongs to the buyer, energy storage tolling agreements will often prohibit or restrict the developer's use of the storage system for station service. The inclusion of this condition requires that the developer enters into a retail service contract for the system's non-storage load.
Select whether to use a two-part procurement, with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select eligible solar vendors followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP) to those vendors, or to issue only an RFP.
Learn about the essential elements of a solar RFP; receive introductory guidance on how to evaluate any proposals received; and be directed towards tools, resources, and sample
