Mark van Zon, senior director at ABN AMRO, opened the session by introducing a wide range of financial concepts, such as floor contracts, gearing, mini-perm loans, balloon management and aspects such as cash sweep mechanisms.
Panelists included banks, buyers and developers who delved into the details, while industry experts shared first-hand experiences of European BESS financing.
