Redefining the future of energy through revenue certainty
Revenue Swap Agreements that convert variable electricity market income into fixed, bankable cashflow
Australia's Battery Storage Bankability Gap
THE MARKET PROBLEM
Battery storage is essential to Australia's energy transition, but most projects can't secure financing. Battery revenue fluctuates with electricity prices that change every five minutes, banks need predictable income before committing long-term debt. The result: viable projects stranded in development, unable to fund construction. The disconnect is financial, not technical.
Basis Energy, the Solution
We provide long-term Revenue Swap Agreements, converting variable electricity market income into fixed, contracted revenue. The result: bankable cashflow that gives lenders the certainty to finance construction.
HOW IT WORKS
We Identify, We Optimise, We Contract, We Trade.
Identify
We assess battery storage projects where revenue certainty is the key constraint to financing, evaluating configuration, connection point, and NEM participation.
Optimise
Using our Vol-OS engine, we model dispatch intervals and price dynamics to determine the fixed annual payment, tailored to align with project financing requirements and investment objectives.
Contract
Commercial terms are documented under an ISDA-based framework, creating the contracted revenue stream lenders can underwrite to reach Financial Close.
Trade
Once operational, we manage market exposure and actively trade revenue, monitoring real-time conditions while delivering contracted payments.
The Financing Impact
The contracted income from a Revenue Swap Agreement allows lenders to underwrite the project with greater financial confidence, enabling high gearing, longer debt tenors and the financial certainty required to reach financial close.
