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.
