Redefining the future of energy through revenue certainty
Basis Energy originates revenue swap agreements that translate volatile market revenue from utility-scale battery storage into contracted, long-tenor cash flows.
From Volatility to Bankable Revenue
Australia’s energy transition does not need more projects, it needs more pathways to bankable revenue.
Basis Energy originates long-term Revenue Swap Agreements that convert a battery’s volatile market revenue into a fixed annual payment, backed by investment-grade credit support. Our agreements are structured under ISDA documentation and designed to ensure developers get bankable revenue while capital partners earn uncorrelated returns from NEM volatility spreads.
Revenue Swap vs Merchant
The structural difference between merchant battery storage economics and a battery storage project under a Revenue Swap Agreement materially changes the project's financing profile.
The result is contractually fixed revenue that senior lenders can model debt service coverage ratios against. Senior debt gearing increases from typical merchant-only levels to 70 percent or higher. The pathway to Financial Close compresses materially.
Vol-OS, Basis Energy’s Technology Platform
Vol-OS is Basis Energy’s proprietary pricing, dispatch, and governance engine. The engine prices each revenue swap using stochastic data models. Vol-OS sets the dispatch strategy for the contracted asset and dispatches the energy through a licensed AEMO market participant.
