What forecasts show
Modo Energy forecasts model long-term revenues for battery energy storage systems (BESS) and solar assets. They're designed to help you understand how an asset might perform over time — from next year through to 2050.
Forecasts are built using a fundamentals model that simulates how power markets will evolve. This includes future power prices, ancillary service opportunities, and how battery dispatch is optimised across different revenue streams.
How forecasts are used
Forecasts cover the full asset lifecycle — from evaluating greenfield sites to optimising operational portfolios. Some examples of how are forecasts are used:
Asset valuation: Generate defensible valuations for portfolio reviews, financial reporting, and strategic planning. Location-specific modelling captures basis risk and local market dynamics.
Project development: Assess project viability, compare sites, and determine optimal asset sizing and configuration. High, central, and low case scenarios support investment decisions.
Financing and bankability: Provide lenders and investors with transparent, methodology-driven revenue projections for due diligence. Forecasts are built on reputable third-party data sources with regular backtesting.
Mergers and acquisitions: Support deal structuring, price negotiations, and post-acquisition planning. Standardised methodology enables portfolio-wide comparisons.
Strategic planning: Guide market entry decisions, capacity expansion plans, and technology investment roadmaps. Long-term horizon through 2050+ supports strategic planning.
How forecasts are built
Modo Energy's forecasting models include:
Capacity Expansion Model — Forecasts which generators will be built over time based on economics and policy
Production Cost Model — Simulates power system dispatch to generate price forecasts
Dispatch Model — Optimises how a battery would participate in energy and ancillary markets
The models produce granular outputs — down to sub-hourly pricing in some markets — so you can see not just annual revenues, but the shape of how those revenues are earned.
