Interactive BESS Lab: Structuring and Financing Storage Projects in Europe

premium account

Recording from Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | Battery Business & Development Forum | Language: English | Duration: 95:24 .

This interactive session moves from discussion to application. Based on real-world assumptions, analysts present two battery storage projects — one stand-alone and one co-located with PV. A panel of banks, investors, developers and optimizers, together with the audience, assesses whether these projects are financeable — and under which conditions.

Participants follow the full decision process: from cost assumptions and revenue stacks to risk allocation and financing structure. The session makes transparent how different stakeholders evaluate the same project and where views diverge.

What you will discuss:

  • How realistic revenue assumptions hold up under current market conditions

  • Which risks (grid, regulation, market) most affect financing decisions

  • What banks, investors and optimizers require to support a project

  • How financing structures change depending on revenue mix and uncertainty

  • Where projects fail to convince — and what would make them investable
