Front-End Engineering Design That EPCs Price From
FEED (front-end engineering design) is the package EPC contractors and suppliers price from. For utility-scale ground-mount PV it covers the DC and LV AC side of the plant: stringing, cable routing and sizing to IEC 60364-5-52, conduit and trench layouts with cross-sections, earthing, single line diagram, cable schedule, indicative mounting and MV station details, and a full bill of quantities. MV AC and grid connection documentation stay with your team or grid consultant and can be coordinated.
Battery storage (BESS) co-location can be scoped alongside a FEED package on request.
