Battery storage financing: Technical risks every bank should understand

What can make or break a BESS investment?

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are rapidly becoming a cornerstone of the energy transition, but their growing importance is matched by increasing complexity and risk, particularly for lenders and investors. While much attention is given to revenue models and market dynamics, technical risks across the project lifecycle can significantly impact performance, returns, and ultimately, bankability.

In this webinar, AFRY and CFC Corporate Finance Contor unpack the critical risks that can make or break a BESS investment. Designed specifically for financial institutions, this session, which focuses on Germany, will equip attendees with the insights needed to assess projects with confidence and make better-informed financing decisions.

What you will learn

This session will provide a practical, end-to-end view of BESS project risks and how they translate into financial outcomes. The webinar will explore:

• The key enablers of BESS growth
• The technical risks that can break a BESS business case and the best practices for mitigating those risks
• How technical factors and de-risking measures impact bankability
