Merchant Battery Revenue Modeling
What the plant earns each hour in Chile or Mexico. Wholesale market money and on-site CFE bill savings stay in separate packs.
- 1
Run the hourly engine
Chile or Mexico prices, not a blended US stack.
- 2
Keep the packs separate
Wholesale money and CFE bill savings never mix.
- 3
Count wear as a cost
Energy, capacity, and shortfall in one mix.
What this includes
- Hourly contract or merchant dispatch
- Wear counted as a cost
- Energy, capacity, and shortfall costs
- Lifetime mix by revenue type
Merchant revenue is what the battery earns when it is not fully contracted. We dispatch hour by hour on Chile or Mexico prices, apply wear, and report energy, capacity, and shortfall costs as separate types.
Wholesale market money and CFE bill savings never mix. A merchant tail after a contract is a scenario, not a hidden add-on. The output is a lifetime mix a diligence team can audit, not a single “merchant upside” cell.
This page is the revenue engine. Battery arbitrage is the spread view of the same prices. Dispatch simulation is the module that runs the hours.
What you walk away with
- Hourly contract or merchant dispatch
- Wear counted as a cost
- Energy, capacity, and shortfall costs
- Lifetime mix by revenue type
