Energy market advisory

Investment-grade modelling for high-stakes energy decisions.

Crossvolt helps large consumers, data centres, renewable investors, banks and developers quantify, structure and optimize decisions across renewables, BESS, PPA/VPPA and energy procurement - from MW-scale assets to GW-scale portfolios.

Representative cases

Complex problems translated into decisions.

01

Energy procurement strategy for a large consumer

Built a consumption model from interval-level load data and compared VPPA, SPOT, fixed-price and hybrid procurement structures. The work identified a robust procurement path with EUR 25-30m modelled 10-year savings potential.

02

PV+BESS acquisition due diligence

Evaluated vendor offers for PV+BESS assets and identified oversized battery configurations with weak economics. Follow-up CAPEX and BESS optimization moved the project toward a financially defensible investment case.

03

BESS sizing expanded into VPPA strategy

Started from a BESS sizing question and developed a broader commercial route for renewable generation, including VPPA strategy and offtake structuring.

04

Investment case preparation for management and boards

Combined technical constraints, market inputs, financial metrics, energy flows and risk interpretation into decision-ready investment cases for renewable and battery projects.

Selected outcomes

Quantified outcomes from real client work.

Crossvolt turns consumption, production, market prices, technical constraints and commercial structures into concrete decisions: how much to buy, what to build, what to negotiate and what to avoid.

Energy procurement strategy EUR 25-30m

modelled 10-year savings potential through an optimized hybrid VPPA procurement strategy.

Strategic procurement reset EUR 2.5m

approximate annual savings potential quantified by restructuring the way electricity is procured.

PV+BESS acquisition CAPEX reset

initial vendor offers were identified as overbuilt; follow-up optimization moved the project toward positive NPV.

Renewable developers and boards Decision-ready

BESS sizing, VPPA strategy and investment cases prepared for management and board-level decisions.

    Simulate alternatives across technologies, commercial structures and price assumptions.

  3. 03

    Optimize asset size, CAPEX, BESS duration and revenue streams.

  4. 04

    Interpret risk across volatility, negative prices, overhedge, regulation and battery degradation.

  5. 05

    Deliver decision outputs: NPV, IRR, payback, cashflows, energy flows, emissions and next steps.
