During the EPC selection process, much effort is spent assessing firms' engineering skill levels, design experience, construction portfolio, and financial bankability. One area of expertise that is often overlooked, however, is logistics. . In states with high “variable” (such as wind and solar) energy source penetration, utility-scale storage supports this shift by mitigating the intermittency of renewable generation and moving peaking capacity to renewable energy sources instead of gas plants, which may become even more critical. . Current forecasts indicate that approximately 18 gigawatts of new utility-scale battery storage capacity will come online by the end of 2025, making battery storage the largest annual buildout on record. This rapid growth is being driven by several converging forces. Utilities are adding storage to. . Selecting the right EPC firm to design and construct projects is a critical step in the execution of energy storage investors' strategies.
