EU Battery Passport Readiness for BESS
Prepare your utility-scale BESS projects for the EU Battery Passport requirements taking effect from February 2027. KRD Renewables provides independent readiness assessments covering documentation, technical evidence, BMS data and supplier capability.
From 18 February 2027, industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh placed on the EU market or put into service will require an electronic Battery Passport under Regulation (EU) 2023/1542.
KRD Renewables provides independent Battery Passport readiness assessments for utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), supporting developers, investors, lenders, utilities and battery suppliers in identifying documentation, data and implementation gaps before procurement, financing or investment decisions are finalised.
Service Scope
Regulatory Readiness
Identify the Battery Passport requirements that apply to your battery technology and project configuration.
Documentation & Evidence
Review supplier documentation and technical evidence to confirm that required information is available and adequately supported.
BMS & Data Readiness
Assess whether relevant battery and BMS data is available, traceable, accessible and clearly defined.
Supplier Readiness
Evaluate whether manufacturers and integrators can provide the information, systems and responsibilities needed to support Battery Passport implementation.
Battery Passport Readiness as Part of BESS Technical Due Diligence
Battery Passport readiness is not simply a documentation exercise.
For utility-scale BESS projects, readiness depends on the availability and traceability of battery technical information, supplier documentation, BMS data, evidence supporting required information, data-access arrangements and clearly defined responsibilities across the battery supply chain.
KRD combines Battery Passport readiness assessment with its experience in BESS Technical Due Diligence, technology assessment and supplier review.
The service can be delivered as a standalone assessment or incorporated into a wider BESS Technical Due Diligence assignment.
