B2B procurement reference for sourcing a CATL EnerC+ ~2 MWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) containerised battery energy storage system (BESS) from China to a Turkish datacenter for critical-load and peak-shaving. Includes computed 25-year NPV, LCOS, payback, the Turkish HS 8507.60 duty stack and the IEC 62619 / UN 38.3 / UL 9540A compliance frame. OEM: CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited).
Equipment: CATL EnerC+ (containerised LFP BESS, ~2 MWh per 20 ft ISO unit). Location: Turkey (TR). Horizon: 25 years. Evidence date: 2026-09-21. Limitation: cell pricing, OpEx drivers and freight ranges are model assumptions; only the model output numbers are computed.

|---|---|
| NPV (25 yr, 8% discount) | −USD 519,770 |
| Simple payback | None within horizon |
| Discounted payback | None within horizon |
| LCOS | USD 0.2307 / kWh |

The scenario TCO model returns NPV = −USD 519,770, simple payback = none within the 25-year horizon, discounted payback = none within the horizon, and LCOS = USD 0.2307 / kWh at an 8% discount rate. See the TCO summary table on this page.
CATL EnerC+ (EnerC Plus) containerised LFP BESS, ~2 MWh per 20 ft ISO container, manufactured by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. See the CATL EnerC product page for cell chemistry, cabinet ratings and cooling topology.
Lithium-ion accumulators classify under HS 8507.60 (WCO Harmonized System 2022, see the WCO HS 2022 nomenclature). The Turkish 12-digit national subheading, customs duty, any additional duties and the KDV rate must be confirmed at the T.C. Ticaret Bakanlığı tariff portal (gtb.tariff.tr) before quoting.
A CATL EnerC+ is typically delivered as a single 20 ft ISO container with integrated BMS, HVAC, liquid cooling and fire suppression. The unit definition must be confirmed against the OEM datasheet returned with the RFQ response.
Typical request set: IEC 62619 for industrial LFP cells, UN 38.3 for transport, UL 1973 for stationary performance, a UL 9540A cabinet-level fire test summary, and a CE / IECEE CB declaration where required. Always reconcile with your compliance team against Turkish grid code and datacenter operator requirements. No certificate numbers are pre-verified on this page.
EXW or FOB China unit price + sea freight on a 20/40 ft FCL + marine insurance + Turkish import duty (HS 8507.60) + any additional duties + KDV VAT + port handling + customs broker fee + inland road transport to site + civil works and commissioning. Each line should be quoted per shipment.
OEM pricing varies with cell supplier, BMS architecture, cycle warranty and order size; Turkish duty and KDV rates, and shipping costs, change with each quote. The cell/BoS/freight/OpEx envelopes on this page are bounded model assumptions so that the scenario TCO output above is reproducible. Only the numbers in the TCO summary table and the year-by-year cash flow table are computed.
Yes, Tradvolt can arrange DAP or DDP incoterms to inland sites subject to a road-access survey, oversize/overweight permits for the BESS container, and a route survey. Use the RFQ form on this page with destination_country set to TR and a city or site code.
