Webinar Series | Exploring Energy Business Models

‍

Late last year we launched our biggest product yet, the game changing Business Model Builder.

‍

A powerful tool the BMB enables the rapid design, optimisation and deployment of multi-stakeholder business models in just minutes, all within a reliable, powerful and logic driven framework. From Power Purchase Agreements to Virtual Power Plants, what would typically take days or weeks of excel work by an analyst, our clients are now doing in just minutes in Orkestra. 📹  Watch the Business Model Builder overview video →

To support the launch of our Business Model Builder and help our clients get as much value as possible from the tool, we'll be running a monthly webinar series 'Exploring Energy Business Models'.

Webinar 2

Business Models to Unlock Advanced Batteries

‍

Our second webinar looks at advanced battery business models that have value stacks inclusive of front of the meter value streams.

‍

James and Georgina provide some context around advanced batteries and the applicable business models, then run through the process in Orkestra for designing these aggregation business models looking at two different examples:

1. Where a customer owns the battery and accepts the risks and rewards. The aggregator providing market access gets a revenue share of energy market revenues.

2. Where the aggregator owns the battery, charges the customer a Battery-as-a-Service fee but accepts all the risks and rewards of energy market revenues.

This one is a big topic, be sure to let us know if you'd like to explore more examples for advanced batteries!
