Jacopo Buriollo, Founder and CEO of Megawatt Finance, explains why lenders also scrutinise downside performance, operating assumptions, contracted income and evidence from real assets. Using Great Britain’s battery market as a reference, Buriollo follows the steps from a theoretical backtest to the cash flows used to size debt. He distinguishes revenue benchmarks from financeable income and explains how differences in foresight, availability, cycling, usable capacity and costs can change the result. What the presentation coversWhy model assumptions need to be explicit before a benchmark is used in a battery financial model.The difference between being online and being available to deliver, and why availability evidence matters to lenders.How monthly revenue variation and the mix of wholesale, balancing and ancillary services affect the assessment of downside risk.The role of capacity-market income, tolling arrangements and revenue floors, including the financing rationale for long-duration storage support.How independently checkable settlement records can build an operating history, particularly in newer European battery markets.Buriollo concludes with three due-diligence questions: what does the model assume, how bad could performance become, and who can verify the underlying numbers?
