Capalo AI Energy Day: my questions on the Offtake & Bankability panel

Capalo AI Energy Day: my questions on the Offtake & Bankability panel

Glad I got to ask each panelist a separate question on the Offtake & Bankability panel at Capalo AI Energy Day in Helsinki today. For battery storage in Romania, the hard questions aren't about the technology anymore. They're about what lenders need to see: how much contracted revenue, which structure (a toll, or a floor plus upside), and who carries the merchant tail.

Thank you Apostolis Valassas (Pexapark), Bo Nordberg (Nordic Investment Bank), Kari Tikkanen (Aukera Energy) and Panu Matilainen (Capalo AI) for an honest discussion, and thank you Capalo for the invitation and a great day.
