Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Makes a BESS Project Bankable in Germany? - NORD/LB
Q: What changes have UK and German markets shown in tolling and fixed offtake structures?
UK tends to push innovation with more mature fixed structures, while Germany currently achieves higher revenue from tolling, but is evolving toward more flexible, multi-part contracts to align with creditworthiness and merchant risk.
What Makes a BESS Project Bankable in Germany? - NORD/LB
Q: How do you determine if a project is bankable in a fluctuating regulatory environment?
By evaluating regulatory certainty across permitting, grid access, and offtake, and ensuring there is a clear, executable path with fixed or partially fixed revenue streams to cover debt service.
What Makes a BESS Project Bankable in Germany? - NORD/LB
Q: What is the most common misconception about bank financing for battery storage?
That banks only care about injecting money; in reality, the critical element is the process, understanding, and regulatory/market clarity that underpins the project long before funds are released.
Speed to Power vs Net Zero: The Data Center Dilemma - Clarke Energy
Q: Can you tell us about a specific project that you've been very proud of being part of?
Alex highlights projects in Ireland that recovered exhaust to produce beverage-grade CO2, biogas upgrading facilities in Indiana delivering renewable energy and heat, and the Citibank combined cooling and power project from a decade ago as early demonstrations of the technology's viability and impact.
Is Geothermal The Next Evolution In Energy Storage? - Sage Geosystems
Q: What are the main hurdles to scale and how are you addressing them?
Key hurdles are grid interconnection, offtake agreements, and permitting—areas Sage and partners are actively working to streamline, with the technology leveraging oil-and-gas drilling expertise to reduce costs and accelerate deployment.
