Why now
  • Increasing co-location of solar and storage projects is reshaping PPA structures and financing needs.
  • Industrial buyers are cautious, slowing hybrid PPA adoption despite market interest.
  • Recent industry summits highlight urgent focus on BESS procurement standards and risk management.
Why it matters
  • Hybrid PPAs are key to integrating storage with renewables, impacting project bankability and financing.
  • Battery storage is becoming essential for solar projects to remain viable and meet industrial demand.
  • Ensuring BESS quality and performance is critical to mitigate risks and secure reliable energy supply.

Recurring claims
  • Hybrid PPAs combining solar and storage are harder to close with industrial offtakers than standard solar deals.
  • Standalone solar projects backed by standard long-term offtake agreements are losing bankability, making battery integration increasingly necessary.
  • Ensuring quality and performance in BESS procurement requires careful product selection and risk mitigation.
