Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Integration

The contract requires the design, supply, and integration of battery energy storage systems with a minimum capacity of 160kWh, aimed at reducing demand charges, enhancing grid resilience, and enabling seamless coordination with electric vehicle supply equipment controls and utility grid systems. The solution must be engineered to operate in alignment with utility requirements and support dynamic energy management strategies, ensuring reliable performance under varying load conditions and grid signals. Technical specifications demand compatibility with existing infrastructure and the ability to participate in demand response programs or grid support functions as needed. Subcontractors must respond by July 13, 2026, under a NAICS code 335999 classification for other electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing, with the procurement managed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Division of Planning. The project’s performance location is unspecified beyond “Other,” and while no set-aside type is designated, the solicitation is open to qualified subcontractors capable of delivering scalable, utility-integrated energy storage solutions. All proposals must demonstrate proven experience in commercial-scale battery system deployment, integration capabilities with EVSE and utility platforms, and adherence to safety and operational standards for grid-connected installations.
