Recording from Tuesday, March 31, 2026 | Battery Business & Development Forum | Language: English | Duration: 66:07 .
Debt for battery storage is available, but conditions are changing as merchant exposure increases and revenue structures become more complex. This session brings together banks, developers, offtakers and investors to discuss what is currently financeable, how contracts are structured in practice, and where expectations diverge.
What you will discuss:
How much merchant exposure banks are currently willing to accept
What makes a tolling agreement truly bankable in practice
Where expectations between banks, offtakers and developers typically diverge
How financing structures change when revenue uncertainty increases
Whether refinancing and new structures can unlock projects without long-term contracts
At what point a project becomes too risky even for equity
