Companion.energy

Agent-tested energy business cases

One framework to score every battery and energy business case you finance, benchmarked against real-world performance. Go deep only where it matters.

THE CHALLENGE

Every project is unique, making bankability hard to judge

SITE SETUP
No two sites are alike

Every site has its own behind-the-meter setup of assets and load profiles, which makes it hard to benchmark.

VALUE STACKING
Revenue from several value pools

They are hard to forecast, and how attractive they are can vary significantly from one customer to the next.

GRID CONNECTION
The grid sets the limits

Access power and location-dependent grid tariffs set the project's limits and shape its potential return.

Today, cases are often assessed from scratch, sometimes with paid external support, and judged one by one with little standardisation or comparability.

HOW IT WORKS

Each case is scored, and you decide where to go deeper

STEP 1
Upload documents

Upload the context, business case and supporting documents to the Companion platform.

STEP 2
Automatic scoring

Every case is scored on credibility and conservatism, with open questions for the client.

STEP 3
Choose the route

Proceed on the score, or request a detailed backtest.

STEP 4
Credit decision

Take the case to your credit decision with a documented assessment.

OPTIONAL
Detailed backtest

For large or complex projects, we backtest the case on the site's own data.

AUTOMATIC SCORING

Assessed on credibility and conservatism

Credibility

Is the case complete and detailed enough? Costs, battery, market and grid.

Conservatism

Do revenue and payback match comparable setups? Checked against peers we optimise live in the market, and public benchmarks.

Assessment report

A score on 20 criteria, with follow-up questions you can send straight to the client to close gaps and verify assumptions.

20 CRITERIA

Every case scored on the same criteria

Source data

A 15-minute simulation on a full year of real metered data, with grid fees, contract and realistic market prices.

Battery assumptions

Size, efficiency, cycles, ageing and availability, with one shared cycle budget across markets.

Costs, financials and model

Hardware, grid upgrade, operator fee and operating costs, a declining price outlook, and a check for model errors.

NEXT STEP

A proposal tailored to your credit process

To shape it around how you work, we start with a few questions.

HOW YOU ASSESS CASES
What should the output report contain so your key parameters are covered?
Can you share a few example business cases?
What does your credit committee need to see to decide?
VALUE ASSESSMENT
How many cases do you assess per year, and for how many do you use external studies?
How long does one assessment take on average?
Which other value pools do you see, such as better credit decisions?
WHAT YOU GET

One framework to screen every case, and go deep where it matters

01
Harmonised assessment

Every case is scored on the same criteria and benchmarked against real-world performance.

02
Less manual work

The first screening is automated, so account managers start from a scored case.

03
A leaner process

External studies are rarely needed. A detailed backtest is kept for large or complex projects.
