Investment & Project Advisory · for investors, IPPs and developers
Know whether a storage project is investable before you commit
Equipment can be priced in a day. Whether a standalone BESS in Spain earns a defensible return depends on grid position, permits, technology, market route, contracts and long-term performance.
Investment readiness
The questions an investment committee will ask
| Question | What we review |
|---|---|
| Is the grid position real? | Connection rights, conditions, timing and constraints |
| Are the permits sound? | Permit status, conditions and remaining milestones |
| Is the technology fit for purpose? | Equipment qualification, certification, degradation and warranty terms |
| How will it earn? | Revenue routes, route-to-market partner and operating strategy |
| Who carries which risk? | Supply, EPC, LTSA and O&M contracts; interfaces and liabilities |
| Will it perform for its whole life? | Availability, augmentation, serviceability and long-term support |
Revenue routes
How a standalone BESS earns in Spain
Revenue is not captured automatically. Each stream needs an EMS or route-to-market partner optimising dispatch across markets.
Energy arbitrage
Day-ahead and intraday trading. The most familiar stream and rarely sufficient on its own.
Balancing services
Payments for flexibility to the system operator, adding value when combined with energy trading.
Capacity mechanism
Payments for firm availability under Spain's capacity mechanism, a more predictable layer on top of merchant income.
Solar-Tec manages the EMS and reports on performance; electricity trading stays with a route-to-market partner, whom we identify, scope and coordinate for each project.
