The core scope of work for this tender involves the comprehensive development, construction, and ongoing operation and maintenance of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

The Statement of Work (SOW) summary and core deliverables can be broken down into three main phases:

1. Project Development (Ready-to-Build):

• Concept Development: Developing the overall concept for establishing a BESS, which can be stand-alone or co-located with photovoltaic or wind energy systems.
• Permits and Rights Acquisition: Obtaining all necessary permits, contracts, expert opinions, other required documents, and services, as well as securing all rights for the construction and operation of the BESS. The contractor is responsible for all associated costs.
• Land Identification and Securing: Identifying and securing suitable land for the project.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Contacting municipalities and authorities, and concluding usage, permission, and lease agreements for essential infrastructure such as access roads, cable routes, substations, and compensation areas.
• Building Rights and Applications: Obtaining building rights through preliminary building applications, reviewing privileging under § 35 BauGB, or establishing/amending a development plan. This includes obtaining all necessary permits and expert opinions, and the complete submission of the building application with detailed documentation (e.g., building description, plans, static proof, fire protection, noise protection, handling of hazardous substances, soil reports, and proof of land security).
• Network Connection: Initiating and securing a network connection reservation.
• Component Selection (Partial): The contractor selects all components and manufacturers, though purchase contracts for the main battery storage system manufacturers are negotiated by the contractor but finalized between the manufacturer and the client.

2. EPC Services (Engineering, Procurement, Construction):

• Turnkey Implementation: Planning, delivery, construction, testing, and commissioning of the BESS on a turnkey basis.
• Project Management: Comprehensive project management, including regular reporting, coordination of project participants, and creation of a Project Management Plan (PMP) encompassing personnel, planning, execution, commissioning, testing, procurement, HSE, transport, storage, assembly, and interface management.
• Detailed Planning: Execution and revision planning, and site planning (preparation, access, security, utility connections, working hours, safety, and communication with local authorities).
• Site Works: Site setup, civil engineering, site clearing, and disposal of construction debris. Restoration of damaged off-site roads and infrastructure, and landscaping of affected areas.
• Component Delivery and Assembly: Delivery and assembly of all main components, including battery containers, inverters, transformers/MV skids, and transfer stations.
• Infrastructure Installation: Installation of park-internal low and medium voltage lines, lightning and surge protection, grounding, and potential equalization.
• Control and Monitoring: Implementation of remote monitoring and control technology.
• Market Integration: Ensuring the BESS can be marketed in relevant energy and control power markets (e.g., EPEXSPOT for Day-Ahead, Intraday auctions, Intraday continuous; FCR; aFRR), fulfilling all technical requirements, and providing a control interface.
• Grid Services: Enabling the BESS for grid-serving purposes such as peak shaving and ensuring reactive power provision for voltage stabilization.
• Optional Functions: Offering optional functions like black start capability and synthetic inertia ("Inertia-ready").
• Documentation: Providing complete project documentation.

3. Operation and Maintenance (O&M):

• Maintenance Services: Performing preventive and corrective maintenance of the storage system.
• System Operation: Operating the remote monitoring and control technology.
• On-site and Remote Support: Conducting all other necessary on-site and remote work for smooth operation.
• Performance Guarantees: Guaranteeing a minimum storage availability of 97% and adherence to defined reaction and troubleshooting times.
