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

The pressing need to mitigate the impact of climate change and to deal with the ongoing energy crisis requires a new regulatory framework in Europe. This is why the European Commission has presented a legislative proposal for the adaptation of the EU Electricity Market Design in Q1 2023. But how would this new framework impact the energy storage market? How would the provision of flexibility be encouraged? How would existing entry barriers for energy storage be further reduced? In this panel, representatives from the EU, utilities, IPPs and storage providers will be discussing whether the new market design is suitable for incentivizing both the necessary energy storage installations and ideas for future improvements.
