Unlock Smarter Decisions with FlexUp's Route-to-Market Comparison Tool

The German BESS market is creating attractive investment opportunities—but also introducing complex challenges, especially around BESS route-to-market contracts.

At FlexUp Markets, we’re committed to contributing to a more transparent and informed marketplace with the launch of our Route-to-Market (RTM) Comparison Tool. While still in proof-of-concept phase, it’s designed to empower BESS operators, investors, and financing banks with the insights needed to make data-driven decisions.

BESS are best seen as a real option on energy and capacity price volatility. At the same time, typical projects require stable, contracted cash-flows to enable senior project debt financing. The route-to-market contract is the key instrument that enables BESS operators to balance the upside of their real option on uncertain volatility, with their bank’s need for predictable cash flows. 

Evaluating typical route-to-market contract structures, such as tolls, profit-share, and floor-plus-profit-share, is a very complex trade-off, made under significant uncertainty. FlexUp’s RTM Comparison Tool helps cut through this complexity by evaluating route-to-market offers in a single, elegant, quantitative dashboard, providing greater transparency and clarity.

- Probabilistic Dashboard – Enable transparent comparison of risk and reward trade-offs inherent in tolls, profit-shares and floors. 

- Risk-Return Insights – Clarify the probabilities that each contract model has to provide the highest revenues.

- Actionable Transparency – Quickly pinpoint the best-fit contract structures for specific investment strategies.

We are continually developing the dashboard, so please provide feedback on what features you’d like
