Explore the key differences between EPC and Turnkey contracts, focusing on project scope, responsibilities, and execution in solar energy projects.
A battery energy storage system (BESS), battery storage power station, battery energy grid storage (BEGS) or battery grid storage is a type of energy storage technology that uses a group of batteries in the grid to store electrical energy.
Offtake contracts for BESS projects still require significant, project-specific creative and critical thought to shape and maintain the intended deal for the life of the project.
Australia''s push towards renewable energy has seen a sharp increase in utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects.
An EPC is a construction project detailed according to the contract''s letter. The contractor (company) will provide all labor, materials, equipment, and other expenses for the project through one agreement in

The potential to not have to buy lead on market is alluring to ArcActive, with McKenzie saying handling their own recycling is perhaps a decade away. ArcActive has tinkered with the lead acid battery to make it more energy dense and smaller, and fixes a hydrogen off-gassing problem common to lead acid batteries.
Here’s some specs about lead acid battery systems: They will give you 1000-3000 cycles at about 60% depth of discharge. In plain English: You can discharge them 60% 1000-3000 times depending on the quality (price!) of the batteries. So if you are discharging 60% every day, they’ll last 3-8 years.
Historically, EPC contracts have been the mainstay for large-scale energy projects in Australia, including BESS projects. An EPC contract is a fully integrated solution where a single contractor takes full responsibility for the engineering, procurement, and construction aspects of a project, excluding specified grid connection works.
EPC contracts remain the dominant model in Australia. They are readily bankable and favoured by the Australian financiers. Individual critical path programs and tailored time / cost adjustments can give rise to interface risks if not managed effectively. This requires carefully up-front planning and programming to identify interfaces.
A problem with lead acid batteries is that as the electrolyte of sulphuric acid and water heats up, the water can burn off – this is a source of hydrogen off-gassing. Once the glass-wool electrode separator is 80 per cent dry, the battery is “bung”, McKenzie says. The carbon fibre layers control those pores and keep the separator hydrated, he says.
However, in the current market a limited number of contractors in Australia are willing to take on a traditional EPC contractor role. A split contracting model opens the market to more tenderers for various packages, which may reduce reliance on a limited pool of EPC contractors and reduce overall project cost.
