2 / 4
The same 20 buildings. Four batteries added.
We changed the equation: four BESS placed in four of the 20 buildings, connected to the system together with the remaining 16.

The numbers behind the investment
The same 20 buildings, two ways of earning.
Case 1
20 buildings
NPV (lifetime value − upfront investment)
726 208 €
Simple payback
0.7 years
Case 2
20 buildings + 4 BESS
NPV (lifetime value − upfront investment)
432 601 €
Simple payback
5.3 years
In this scenario, the four batteries add 204 593 € in the lifetime value and cost 498 200 € to install. Who funds that cost, and on what payback terms, decides the rest of the story.
Upfront investment
Onboarding 60 000 € in both cases; battery CAPEX 498 200 € in Case 2.
Lifetime value
Present value of net benefits.
Battery
1 MWh, 0.5 MW, C-rate 0.5.
Battery installed cost
All figures behind the two cases are available on request in the Energy Coop BESS WHITEPAPER. Please contact Truman Data’s CTO, Rauno Jokelainen, to receive the paper with the full calculations and data models.
