Financial analysis for deploying solar containerized BESS in telecom networks

Can a Bess project be financially viable?

But while many projects integrating modern distributed energy resources, microgrids, and energy storage can offer advantageous possibilities, meticulous planning is critical to navigate potential challenges and ensure the financial viability of any new BESS solution.

What do energy stakeholders need to know before launching a Bess project?

Before embarking on a new BESS project—one impacting decades of operations and finances—energy stakeholders need a clear-as-day road map. Shovels may not hit the ground for months, but understanding the project’s financial journey throughout its lifespan is crucial.

What data should be included in a Bess evaluation?

Key data impacting BESS evaluations may include this distributed energy resource data on PV systems, controllable loads, and energy storage—as well as weather data for the potential project site, electrical thermal loads, and electricity and gas tariff data, along with time-of-use rates.

How do I secure debt for Bess & hybrid projects?

Securing debt for BESS and hybrid projects requires a "bankable” revenue forecast from lenders preferred consultants. Developers need their own flexible modelling tools to optimise project design and achieve more favourable financing terms.
