Delivering Reliable and Bankable BESS Projects in Africa

Mitigating Project Risks During Design and Procurement

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming an important part of renewable energy projects, grid stability strategies and industrial energy systems across Africa.

However, the success of a BESS project is shaped long before construction or commissioning begins. Decisions made during design, supplier selection, procurement and technical review can directly influence project quality, safety, performance, reliability and bankability.

For developers, investors, project owners, utilities, EPC contractors and mines, early-stage technical assurance plays a critical role in identifying risks before they become costly project challenges.

Join Bureau Veritas and SOLIDA (A Bureau Veritas Company) for a practical webinar focused on mitigating project risks during the design and procurement phases of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects.

The session will explore how independent technical assurance, supplier evaluation and early-stage risk identification can help improve project quality, strengthen investor confidence and support the delivery of reliable and bankable BESS projects.
