Revenue vs. Profitability: How to Avoid BESS ROI Pitfalls

Revenue potential does not guarantee BESS profitability. The most costly mistake BESS developers and project owners make is focusing on promised revenue and underestimating technical and operational factors that can jeopardise the project’s return over time. 

In this webinar, our BESS specialists will dissect how to tackle four critical risks that often go unnoticed until they impact the bottom line: 

• Overcoming pre-qualification delays: batteries can only start making money once they’re live, and many can be stuck at the pre-qualification stage for weeks. Every week lost can mean up to 2% in annual revenue gone. 
• Adapting to changing legislation and market rules: pre-qualification is not a one-time exercise at the start of the project. Your optimisation partner must be able to adapt to changes in pre-qualification rules swiftly, understand how these rules differ between countries, and correctly add new market programmes to the stack.  
• Minimising battery degradation under trading stress: your BESS project is as profitable as your batteries’ health, and aggressive trading strategies can shorten battery life and reduce capacity. Without precise degradation management, projected profits can quickly vanish. 
• Accounting for network charges and grid costs: grid fees vary depending on how and when your batteries operate. These charges can highly impact the profitability of a project, regardless of how well your batteries are traded.  

You should attend if:

• You are a grid-scale battery developer and/or owner aiming to monetise your assets on energy markets; 
• You want to understand the European battery market outlook;
• You want to ensure that your projects are optimised for profitability, beyond the revenue forecast;
• You want to evaluate long-term investment potential;
• You’re navigating the complexities of today's energy markets.

Revenue is the headline; profitability is the real story. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and learn how to optimise your BESS project for long-term ROI.
