What this Deal Lab is (and who it’s for)
This is a full institutional-grade Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project finance model build.
You’ll learn how BESS deals are actually structured and evaluated — from core technical assumptions through to decision-ready cash flows and return metrics.

This Deal Lab is ideal if you work (or want to work) in:
• Project finance / infrastructure banking
• Renewable energy investing (funds, IPPs, developers)
• Corporate finance, origination, or transactions
• Advanced analyst / associate interview preparation

📌 Episode 3 — What we cover
In this lesson, we model capacity augmentation — one of the most important (and most misunderstood) mechanics in bankable BESS underwriting.
You’ll learn how to:
• Build a trigger test that detects when degradation creates a deliverability shortfall
• Identify a headroom breach (when the system can no longer meet required deliverable output)
• Size augmentation additions to restore deliverable capacity in a realistic, finance-ready way
• Avoid common “quick fixes” that overstate deliverability, revenues, and bankability

This is a key step for making your model resilient under lender scrutiny — and it shows up often in IC discussions when the question becomes: “What protects deliverability over time?”
