As the energy landscape evolves, BESS has emerged as a pivotal technology in integrating renewable energy sources, enhancing grid stability, and providing a host of other economic and operational benefits. However, the financial modelling of these systems can be complex and fraught with potential pitfalls. Accurate and robust financial models are crucial for investors, developers, and operators to make informed decisions and maximize the value of their BESS investments.
 
In this webinar, we will explore various modelling approaches, discussing their advantages, limitations, and best practices. Additionally, we will highlight common errors encountered in BESS financial modelling, providing insights into how to avoid these mistakes and ensure the reliability and accuracy of your financial projections.

Key learning outcomes:

  • An overview of what we are seeing in BESS financial models
  • Approaches to modelling the different revenue streams in BESS financial model and common errors we are seeing
  • Different type of expenses and how these are being modelled
  • Specific modelling challenges in BESS financial models including the modelling of scenarios, debt and ratios
