Verdict. Publish a per-RFQ TCO only — no committed payback, IRR or LCOS figure is possible until the OEM quote, freight quote, live EU TARIC duty lookup, Irish VAT lookup and the ESB Networks G99 fee are returned. The COMPUTED TABLES below are the only mathematics on this page and they are reproduced verbatim: with all capex line items, replacement capex line items, fixed annual opex and residual value marked DROPPED-ITEM in the source model, every cost-side field reads EUR 0.0000 (total undiscounted cost, total discounted cost, simple payback, discounted payback, LCOS). The benefit side reflects only the bounded default revenue inputs declared in §3. Equipment class: 1 MWh LFP containerised BESS, 20 ft ISO, generic product class (candidate OEM families: CATL EnerC 1MWh container BESS family; BYD MC Cube; Sungrow ST-series PCS / SC-series container; Huawei SUN2000 string inverter family for AC-coupled PCS — specific SKU + OEM manual title + revision cited verbatim on per-RFQ pack). Location: IE (EU). Horizon: 25 yr. Currency: EUR. Discount rate: 8.00 %. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: this page is a TCO structure, not a quote.

The COMPUTED TABLES below are the only mathematics on this page. Inputs in §3 (horizon, discount rate, revenue-side bounded defaults) match the table inputs exactly. Cost-side inputs were marked DROPPED-ITEM in the source model; the tables therefore return EUR 0.0000 for every cost, payback and LCOS field. Do not paste these numbers into a customs declaration or a CAPEX approval.

All inputs below are model assumptions. They match the COMPUTED TABLES inputs exactly. Where the source model marked an input DROPPED-ITEM, the page does not invent a number; it states that the row is missing and the COMPUTED TABLES therefore return EUR 0.0000 for the corresponding cost-side metric.

No. The COMPUTED TABLES are the only mathematics on this page. With every cost-side input (capex[0..9], replacements[0..2], opex.fixed, residual_value.amount) marked DROPPED-ITEM, the model returns EUR 0.0000 for total undiscounted cost, total discounted cost, simple payback, discounted payback and LCOS. The benefit side reflects only the bounded default revenue inputs declared in §3. Committed payback, IRR and LCOS are produced per RFQ once the OEM quote, freight quote, EU TARIC duty, Irish VAT and ESB G99 fee are returned.
Candidate OEM families are named in §2: CATL EnerC 1MWh container BESS family (catl.com/en/ess), BYD MC Cube commercial-industrial LFP (bydenergy.com), Sungrow ST-series PCS / SC-series container (sungrowpower.com/en/products/string-inverter) and Huawei SUN2000 string inverter family (solar.huawei.com/en/products/sun2000-330ktl-h1). The specific SKU number, OEM manual title and revision, torque limits, SOC windows and DC bus voltages are recorded verbatim on the per-RFQ datasheet pack only.
The working assumption is subheading 8507.60 (lithium-ion). Cross-check chapter/note context against the WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition (wcoomd.org). The exact national line, end-of-year CN explanatory note, any additional duty, and the Irish VAT rate must be looked up on the EU TARIC consultation for the IE destination and on the Irish Revenue — Importing portal at the moment of declaration. Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 applies in parallel (see EUR-Lex).
EU market access: CE marking under applicable directives. Stationary-storage cell/pack safety & performance: IEC 62619:2022 and IEC 63056:2020 (full designation cited on the per-RFQ pack; catalogue at IEC Webstore). Lithium transport: UN 38.3 provisions of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.7, UNECE) and IATA DGR if any leg is by air (IATA DGR). Grid interface in Ireland: ESB Networks G99 process (ESB Networks). Optional North-American parallel listing: UL 1973 (UL 1973) / UL 9540A.
Because all capex[0..9].amount, replacements[0..2].amount, opex.fixed and residual_value.amount were marked DROPPED-ITEM in the source model. The COMPUTED TABLES are reproduced verbatim; the model returns EUR 0.0000 for every cost-side field when cost-side inputs are absent.
Yes, subject to RFQ. Common Incoterms 2020 for this lane are EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, CIP, DAP and DDP (rules: ICC Incoterms 2020). The RFQ form lets the buyer specify the desired Incoterm.
Lead time depends on OEM production slot, ocean sailing schedule and ESB G99 interface approval window. Use the RFQ form for a date-committed lead time once the OEM and freight forwarder are confirmed.
