Long-Term Service Agreements LTSA) for BESS The LTSA is an agreement between the Project and battery supplier for long-term performance guarantee PG, preventative and corrective maintenance. LTSA terms have begun to be aligned across major suppliers:

20-year term common, 25-year is now frequently offered

Performance guarantees tend to include:

25-year degradation guarantee to 6070% SOH based on 1 cycle per day

Up to 2 cycles per day (provided annual maximum not exceeded)

20- to 25-year Round-trip efficiency guarantees from 88% at Beginning of Life (at POI) to 82% at End of Life
