What You Need to Know about BESS Tolling
With increasing questions from our community and growing industry discussions around battery storage contract structures, we''re seeing
As the energy stored in the battery belongs to the buyer, energy storage tolling agreements will often prohibit or restrict the developer's use of the storage system for station service. The inclusion of this condition requires that the developer enters into a retail service contract for the system's non-storage load.
The first, and the topic of an earlier article, is the general contracting structure. Developers of battery energy storage system, or BESS, projects are using a multi-contractor, split-scope contracting structure instead of the more traditional single-contractor, turnkey approach. (See "Battery Purchase Contracts" in the December 2021 NewsWire.)
Therefore, the energy in the system belongs to the offtaker. As part of an energy storage tolling agreement, the seller is usually required to arrange for separate station service in order to not use the offtaker's electricity.
Most battery owners step back from active market participation, instead receiving guaranteed fixed payments while the whole risk is covered by the service provider (or optimizer) who is offering the tolling agreement. This arrangement is the inverse of merchant or profit-share contract structures (where owners take on market revenue risk).

The storage provider receives a capacity payment —which is adjusted for the battery storage system's availability and round-trip efficiency—as well as a variable O&M payment for energy dispatched by the system.
