Therefore, this article will explain the five primary battery production and procurement strategies. Current market conditions are a wake-up call for many companies worldwide to make their supply chains more resilient, including building a more diverse supplier portfolio across all levels.
Customer ServiceOverall, procurement for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects can often be so complex that important details can easily be overlooked. Missteps may lead to significant costs down the road, including unexpected change orders, poor system performance and, in the worst cases, safety issues once assets are in operation.

When considering a new supplier, buyers should carefully check the company’s safety credentials and industry certifications, as well as the possible failure modes with the battery type they supply, and how these are mitigated.
Apply judgement, as no single document from another utility will address all of your needs. Review your utility’s standard procurement template to be sure it will accommodate the type of procurement and the kinds of companies that you wish to hear from. For some projects, companies with regional or local roots may provide add-on benefits.
Note rising interest in value streams that are locally realized, e.g., time-shifting to balance rising distributed energy resources (DERs) locally. Battery storage can prevent solar over-production, while facilitating local high-renewables goals. It also may sometimes defer the need for a distribution upgrade (non-wires alternative).
While some tier 1 suppliers may be sold out for the next few years, if your purchasing volume is less than 1 GWh you could consider a smaller, tier 2 supplier. Whereas larger buyers can leverage their scale to secure batteries from tier 1 suppliers, mid-sized or smaller players need to find the right-sized partner.
