Revenue transparency in financing processes

Long lifetimes and high capital intensity make overstated revenues expensive. Lenders need valuations set in the Austrian market context — with disclosed assumptions and scenario ranges. Impeto works with banks in three forms.

Developing and validating the business case

Before the application

The project developer has the case developed by Impeto in BESS Invest: initial call, revenue modelling with multiple scenarios calculated using the same set of variables, results discussion and a results deck. The bank receives consistent data, open assumptions and scenario ranges as a basis for further review.

The bank's role: referring the developer. Engagement and invoicing run directly between the developer and Impeto Impact.

Independent second opinion

During credit review

The bank provides the key data of an application on its desk — power, capacity, site, revenue assumptions, financing. Impeto models the case in BESS Invest and discusses the variants in a workshop session, on site or via Teams, including live simulation and assessment.

The bank's role: direct engagement, as a single request or as a contingent.

Partnership under a framework agreement

Ongoing

Ongoing advice and review of applications at any stage of maturity, flexibly on demand. This makes sense once storage applications are no longer isolated cases but arrive as a wave — the Austrian project pipeline is full and runs roughly two years behind Germany.

The bank's role: partnership under a framework agreement, across three tiers from access to partner.

All services can be combined freely. Terms and contingents are agreed in an initial conversation.
