This program explored the evolving landscape of EPC contracting for co-located power generation and storage for data center projects. The panel examined key contracting and bankability considerations for behind-the-meter (BTM) developments—both fully islanded and grid-interconnected—across configurations including gas-fired plus battery energy storage systems (BESS) and solar plus BESS. The discussion also addressed how the structure of the data center’s power offtake arrangement directly influences risk allocation, performance guarantees, and commercial terms in EPC agreements, with practical insights drawn from recent transactions and emerging industry trends.
