One case for the investment committee

The memo needs one story, not a folder of highest-return runs. We show the trade-off, the downside, and why one Recommended Case goes in the deck.

The decision you make

An IC approves one story: the size, the contract mix, the downside, and the return. That story is the Report Case. The Recommended Case is usually that case, because the highest IRR often fails coverage.

We plot battery size against return so you can see where extra hours stop paying. Then we run four production cases (sponsor, base, downside, severe) using drier-year haircuts.

Why the hours matter

Revenue is not an annual number pasted into a sheet. It is charge and discharge each hour on Chile or Mexico prices. The playground above is one sample day. Shift charge into the cheap hours and discharge into the peak. On a live study that logic runs across the full life, not one Wednesday.

What you walk away with

  • Size versus return, with the Recommended Case marked
  • Sponsor, base, downside, and severe cases
  • Investor Word deck and Excel workbook
  • Argentina tender screening when the bid is AlmaSADI
