How can BESS asset owners collaborate within Procurement & Supply Chain?
18 Nov - From 14:10 - 15:00
Which supply chain challenges are too expensive to solve alone?
BESS owners face many of the same supply chain and procurement challenges, yet most still manage them independently. This roundtable explores practical ways battery storage owners can collaborate to improve supply security, reduce costs, accelerate sourcing, and strengthen supplier relationships through shared resources, common standards and owner-led initiatives beyond traditional purchasing.

Is this your cup of tea?
Are these the challenges you are expected to develop in your professional role?
Could BESS owners create a marketplace for surplus battery modules, PCS units, transformers and other unused components?
Could a digital spare parts pool improve supply security by providing visibility of critical components available across participating portfolios?
Could owners operating the same battery platforms collaborate on identifying compatible replacement components and approved retrofit solutions?
Could BESS owners build a shared supplier database containing qualified suppliers, capabilities and contact points?
Could supplier ratings and performance reviews help owners identify the most reliable suppliers while reducing procurement risks?
Could regional spare parts pools reduce lead times and improve availability of critical components during major outages?
Could owners collaborate on shared framework agreements to improve commercial terms without requiring joint purchasing?
Could BESS owners jointly qualify suppliers and share audit findings to reduce duplicated procurement effort?
Could a common component master data structure improve sourcing, benchmarking and spare parts exchange across the industry?
Could owners create escalation networks within battery, PCS and EMS suppliers to accelerate support during critical operational events?
Joining this discussion with identical peers from other Solar owners will give you a broader understanding, an expanded network and valuable insights.
