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.
Therefore, the energy in the system belongs to the offtaker. As part of an energy storage tolling agreement, the seller is usually required to arrange for separate station service in order to not use the offtaker’s electricity.
The storage provider receives a capacity payment —which is adjusted for the battery storage system’s availability and round-trip efficiency—as well as a variable O&M payment for energy dispatched by the system.
This arrangement is the inverse of merchant or profit-share contract structures (where owners take on market revenue risk). However, some battery owners prefer to remain involved in trading – both options are possible. Typically, utilities, energy traders, and large power consumers commit to purchasing and controlling the battery’s energy output.
Located in the City of Peoria, Maricopa County, Arizona, the stand-alone battery energy storage system (BESS) will have capacity of 250 MW/4-hour duration. Beehive BESS expects to start construction in 2025, and will consist of lithium-ion battery enclosures, inverters, transformers, and substation.
Most battery owners step back from active market participation, instead receiving guaranteed fixed payments while the whole risk is covered by the service provider (or optimizer) who is offering the tolling agreement. This arrangement is the inverse of merchant or profit-share contract structures (where owners take on market revenue risk).
