Although a quick poll during the opening session of the Battery Business & Development Forum 2025 suggested that financing is no longer seen as the biggest obstacle for the implementation of the battery storage, the session “Bankability and financing in the context of Bess” attracted a lot of interest.

Despite the growing maturity of the market, securing financing remains an important step for developers. Whether it concerns equity or debts, investors and banks are willing to support projects, provided that important risks are tackled.
View Bankability
Bankability usually refers to the extent to which both technical and market -related risks are limited. On the technical side, a lot depends on the choice of components and suppliers. For example, if a European battery system is based on Chinese cells, developers must ensure that the European system provider fully supports the performance guarantees. Trusting a guarantee from an overseas supplier without a European presence can increase the observed risk and make financing more complicated.
