Engie's Martin Daronnat Highlights Complexities and Strategic Insights in Battery Energy Storage Agreements at Industry Event

Martin Daronnat, Head of Flexibility & Structured Origination Germany at Engie, discusses the company's global management of assets and supply of structured products. Engie operates 2.5 GW live battery capacity with a target to reach 10 GW globally, alongside thermal and hydro assets managed through algo trading from their Brussels desk. In Germany, they engage in physical and virtual flexibility off-takes and are recognized as top players in PPAs and risk management. Daronnat emphasizes that agreements like long-term physical tolls are complex due to numerous clauses involving technical risks (e.g., battery degradation), curtailment risks by TSOs/DSOs, credit risks, regulatory changes, etc. He advises taking time with these agreements to mitigate potential rushed decisions leading to increased risk exposure. He highlights discrepancies between investor perceptions versus market valuations for BESS assets; fair value is dynamic based on factors such as price volatility or ancillary service levels which change over time affecting toll values too. Finally stressing awareness about biases from non-risk-taking advisors while advocating for engaging traders' opinions for effective risk management strategies before adverse market conditions arise—emphasizing preparedness against inherent but unseen risks rather than reactive measures post-market downturns.

Talk of session: Commercial Models for Utility-Scale BESS - How Investor Appetite Is Shaping the Development Process in Germany

The utility-scale BESS market in Germany has experienced significant growth in the last two years. Typical project size has increased by an order of magnitude over that timeframe from 20 MW to 200 MW. The number of developers in this sector has increased at a comparable rate. But how can developers make key decisions around project design when they are often not the long-term asset owners? How integrated are developers with investors during the project design phase, and what could be done more effectively?In this panel, major players from the investor and developer communities will discuss project design, commercial models including the rise of contracted off-take agreements and expected returns in this fast-growing market.

The continuous improvement of network development plans and flexibility strategies is crucial for addressing the challenges of grid congestion and ensuring effective capacity management. Innovative deployment strategies and business models promote the seamless integration of storage systems, which in turn enhances grid stability and optimizes energy management system costs. At the same time we look in this session at the dynamic landscape of large, grid-connected storage that requires careful consideration of integration timelines to ensure sustainable and future-proof energy utilization.

Hailed as the perfect solution for solar in the building environment for many years, only a very limited number of building integrated systems have been installed for various reasons. With the first cities, states and countries having passed laws for mandatory solar inclusion for new houses and leading global module manufacturers launching first BIPV products, it looks like the time has come for this to change.
