MAP Energy
Battery Energy Storage
BESS development support from site to connection — grounded in how storage projects are actually consented, connected and built.
The capability
Battery storage rewards speed and punishes shortcuts. Projects live or die on the gap between a good connection date and a deliverable one.
MAP consultants support BESS developers through the decisions that shape a project's value: site suitability against network need, import and export configuration, layout that balances energy density against fire safety and noise, and a consenting strategy that anticipates the objections storage now reliably attracts. Each decision feeds the others; we keep them coherent.
As projects mature, the work shifts to interfaces — aligning the connection programme with equipment procurement lead times, EPC scope boundaries and the revenue assumptions behind the investment case. Storage economics move quickly; the development plan has to be robust to that movement rather than built on one market view.
How MAP delivers it
BESS support follows the project from site appraisal to construction handover.
Site and connection appraisal
Assessment of candidate sites against network capability, connection prospects and physical constraints — before options are signed.
Layout and design development
Development of layouts that reconcile capacity, safety separation, noise, drainage and access, coordinated with the connection design.
Consenting strategy
Planning applications prepared and managed with fire safety, landscape and community considerations addressed head-on rather than in rebuttal.
Procurement and delivery interfaces
Alignment of grid milestones with battery and balance-of-plant procurement, EPC contracting and the energisation sequence.
