The questions from our first BESS webinar
This recording follows our first session, BESS financial models: modelling approaches and common errors. It answers the questions raised there and goes further into financial modelling for battery energy storage systems (BESS): debt tenor against asset life, the risk of technology obsolescence and what makes a BESS project bankable.
The panel covers both debt and equity. Ben Kwan, Hitansh Doda and Shifali Aggarwal of Forvis Mazars are joined by Jean-Marie Verrier of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC Group).
