Price curves

Electricity price curve generation for BESS and markets

Bankable, scenario-based electricity price curves to value assets, size BESS and support investment and financing decisions.

Who this is for

Teams that need a defensible price curve behind a valuation, a financing or a battery business case.

  • A lender or an investment committee is going to challenge your price assumption.
  • You are valuing an asset or a portfolio in a transaction.
  • You are sizing a BESS and the spread decides the project.
  • You are pricing a PPA and need a benchmark you can show.

What we actually do

Within Optimize Forecasting Services, curve generation produces tailored electricity price curves that reflect market fundamentals and your asset profile. We build them for any European bidding zone, so a portfolio spread across several countries is valued with one consistent method.

01

Hourly granularity

Hour by hour across the life of the asset, not annual averages.

02

Scenarios

Low, central and high price paths for the same asset.

03

Captured price

By technology: solar, wind and storage capture very different prices.

04

Storage signals

Arbitrage spread and ancillary services revenue signals for BESS.

05

Back-testing

Contrasted against realised market prices, with the deviation on the table.
