Battery Storage & Energy Infrastructure

Battery storage sits at the intersection of technology development, capital markets and infrastructure investment.

Impeto works on battery storage through strategic advisory, market research and proprietary analytical tools supporting investment decisions.

BESS Invest is live.

Our SaaS tool for the profitability analysis of utility-scale battery storage has been in use since 2026 — with project developers, investors and lenders. It turns five years of market data into a fully integrated, robust investment case.

Scientific foundation

Built on the 2026 WU Vienna study "Charging Ahead" — peer-reviewed, drawing on 19 expert interviews across utilities, banks, IPPs, the transmission operator and academia.

Modelled for the Austrian market

Five energy markets and four grid levels, mapped specifically for Austria and calculated with current market data per region. Further European markets will follow.

Self-service in the browser

Results are available immediately after configuration. The model runs in the browser — configurable in-house, without building Excel models or waiting on external calculation rounds.
