Choose the right perspective
Match the person to your business model, since finance at a developer that owns and operates storage projects differs from finance at a company building battery technology or equipment. Look at each person's earlier roles too, because CFOs who came from utilities, infrastructure investing or banking approach funding questions differently.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you structure financing for a battery storage project when part of its revenue depends on volatile power prices?
- 02Which contract terms do lenders and investors care most about when they fund energy storage assets?
- 03How do you plan capital for a storage technology company moving from pilot projects to volume production?
