Bankable energy modelling software, from inputs to IRR.

Watch Gridcog model a German solar farm retrofit with co-located battery storage, an existing subsidy and a shared grid connection. Every assumption stays visible, so lenders can trace the IRR back to its inputs.

What makes an energy model bankable?

Spreadsheets work until a project adds a battery, an offtake contract and a constrained connection. Switch views to see what changes when lenders start asking questions.

Dispatch
Dispatches on price and generation forecasts, then settles on actual prices.Perfect foresight: the battery reacts to prices it could not have known.
Assets
Wind, solar, storage and loads modelled in detail and optimised together.Each asset modelled separately, then stitched together.
Contracts
PPAs, subsidies, FCR, aFRR, wholesale trading and revenue floors in one model, with a cash flow for every participant.One revenue stream at a time.
Assumptions
Visible in the model, so any result can be explained.Buried in cells, so results are hard to explain.
Reuse
The same method reused across sites and markets.Rebuilt for every project.

What is bankable energy modelling software?

Software that models an energy project's physical and commercial performance in enough detail for lenders and investment committees to trace every result back to its assumptions. Gridcog does this for solar, storage, hybrid and behind-the-meter projects, interval by interval, across 40+ markets.

How is Gridcog different from other energy modelling software?

Gridcog co-optimises the full revenue stack in one solve. Assets dispatch on a forecast and settle on actual prices, and every participant and contract in the project is modelled. Every input, constraint and assumption is visible, so any result can be explained.

Is Gridcog better than a spreadsheet model?

For a single asset with one revenue stream, a spreadsheet can be enough. Once a battery, an offtake contract and a constrained connection interact, Gridcog models them together, interval by interval, with every assumption visible. The same method can then be reused across sites and markets instead of being rebuilt for each project.

Can I use my own price curves?

Yes. You can run a project on the price forecasts you choose. Compare several curves side by side to see the full range of returns, from merchant downside to contracted upside.

Which revenue contracts can Gridcog model?

Merchant exposure, power purchase agreements (PPAs), contracts for difference (CfDs), subsidies such as Germany's EEG, tolling agreements, swaps and revenue shares. Each participant gets their own cash flow, so you can see how value and risk split between developer, owner, optimiser and offtaker.

Who uses Gridcog?

Developers, independent power producers (IPPs), investors, utilities, energy majors and consultants, along with large energy users and fleet operators. Teams use Gridcog to evaluate solar, storage, hybrid and behind-the-meter projects before they commit capital.
