Battery-plus-solar has moved from concept to pipeline across CEE, but the gap between projected and actual economics remains wide. This session covers the full arc from how to structure and finance a hybrid project to whether the numbers work once it is built.
• What revenue gap between projected and actual battery performance are developers and lenders seeing in CEE markets, and how is this being priced into debt models?
• What are the real capital expenditure and grid connection economics of co-location versus retrofitting storage to existing solar assets, and how should developers optimise battery sizing, duration, and dispatch strategy for different CEE market conditions?
• Which revenue streams, such as arbitrage, capacity markets, frequency response, and curtailment mitigation, are lenders willing to underwrite, and how do you structure EPC and O&M contracts to allocate performance risk appropriately when battery revenues are merchant?
