What is a turnkey EPC contract?
The key thing to note is that with a turnkey EPC contract, you can’t get just a piece of the package. For example, if you just want to dip your toe into solar to see if it would be a good fit for your business, an EPC contract won’t allow you to just purchase an energy assessment or a site survey – you have to buy the entire solar package.
How does an EPC contract work?
Here’s how it works: The scope of work for your solar project is laid out in the initial EPC contract, as is the lump sum cost of the project. The contract price includes everything that’s needed to design, build, and install your turnkey system.
Should you choose an EPC contract for a solar project?
Given the significant monetary value of EPC Contracts, and the potential adverse consequences if problems occur during construction, the lowest price should not be the only factor used when selecting a Contractor. As noted earlier, an EPC Contract is one of a suite of agreements necessary to develop a solar project.
Will EPC contracts provide for the handover of a solar facility?
EPC Contracts will not provide for the handover of the solar facility to the Project Company, and the PPA will not become effective until all commissioning and reliability trialling has been successfully completed.
How do turnkey projects work?
This is why we thought it would be worthwhile to take a few minutes to explain how turnkey projects work. With a turnkey contract, one entity is responsible for the complete scope of work related to your project, from the development, design, and construction to the ultimate deployment or commissioning of the end product.
What are the disadvantages of an EPC contract?
Another major disadvantage of an EPC Contract becomes evident when problems occur during construction. In return for a guaranteed price and a guaranteed completion date, the Project Company cedes most of the day-to-day control over the construction.
The average price of EPC for energy storage projects generally falls within the range of $1,000 to $3,000 per installed kilowatt; this cost can fluctuate based on various factors such as project scale, technology employed, site conditions, and location-specific economic considerations.EPC contracts in the solar sector
