Challenge

The cheapest place to remove risk is before you sign.

Buying batteries isn't like buying transformers. Chemistries evolve, specifications shift mid-bid and supplier rosters change overnight. Add warranty fine print, ESG audits and shifting trade rules, and the risk stacks up on a purchase your financing depends on. The teams that win negotiate from independent data, not vendor brochures.

BESS procurement services we offer.

ACCURE's performance engineering services for battery storage bring the industry's largest independent BESS dataset to procurement, pre-acquisition diligence, and LTSA, warranty and PPA negotiations, backed by benchmark data from 24+ GWh of supported capacity across 100+ sites worldwide.

Pre-qualification & RFP management

Set the technical bar before bids arrive. We define quality criteria, evaluate RFPs and set the acceptance criteria for Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), so only compliant suppliers reach your shortlist.

Supplier audits & benchmarking

Independent, data-led benchmarking of production quality, capacity, warranty terms and after-sales support, so you compare suppliers on evidence, not claims.

Risk analysis & reporting

Supply-chain, technology and execution risk assessments, with supplier scorecards that make your procurement decisions defensible to boards and lenders.

From “impossible to audit” to “easy to enforce”.

Challenge

A BESS supplier proposed an availability clause defined by two multi-line formulas, 25 variables and special carve-outs. Auditing it after each outage would mean manual data wrangling, making it effectively unenforceable.

ACCURE insights

Using one year of anonymised data from across our analysed BESS portfolio, we showed a single three-hour fault could be read as anywhere between 92% and 99% availability, exposing the operator to dispute.

Outcome

We recommended rejecting the proposal in favour of the one-line industry standard: easily retrieved, third-party verifiable and debate-free. After negotiation the vendor accepted, and compliance is now tracked in ACCURE's platform with zero extra effort, giving the operator a defensible basis for any future warranty claim.
