Expression of Interest are invited for Supply of 20 Mw Battery Energy Storage Systems
Background and Context
On March 12, 2024, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) issued its Final
Determination and Order in respect of BEL-s Least Cost Expansion Plan (LCEP). In
that Order the PUC approved, among other generation and system expansion projects,
the installation of 20 MW of BESS via a competitive bidding process to come online by
the first quarter of 2027. BEL seeks to add this 20MW/80MWh of battery energy
storage capacity by March 2025. The accelerated project timeline is necessary to
help mitigate the current and continuing risk of capacity shortages due to the sharp
increases in-country demand which has exceeded available power supply from existing
in-country power sources.
Scope of Work
The Company is seeking project developers with the managerial, financial, and
technical competence and proven track record to design, finance, build, and
commission the BESS in a manner compatible with generally accepted standards of
quality and performance under a capital lease agreement with the option to purchase
and transfer to BEL under terms to be negotiated. Project developers are expected to obtain all relevant environmental permits, construction permits and other required
permits and licenses.
Companies expressing an interest in participating in the Request for Proposals will
have to prove their capacity to design, finance, construct, and operate BESS as outlined
in the eligibility criteria below
