Capital

Think economically about battery storage.

wattss Capital makes battery storage financeable and provides investors with access to a growing pipeline of BESS projects in Europe.

Battery storage requires more than good technology – it requires the right financial structures. wattss Capital combines project expertise with capital market know-how: as a financing partner for companies and as an investment platform for investors, family offices, and investment foundations.

Financing Solutions

The right financing structure often determines whether a battery storage project is realized – or not. wattss Capital structures solutions that fit your situation: with predictable installments, minimal capital commitment, and a partner who knows the project from start to finish.

Financial Leasing

Implement modern battery storage without high upfront investment. Our financial leasing enables companies and public institutions to acquire a battery storage system with predictable leasing installments and minimal capital commitment. After the leasing period expires, the storage system typically transfers to your ownership.

Together with leading partner banks in Switzerland and the EU, we offer flexible terms and transparent conditions: structured from a single source and tailored to your needs.

Utility Scale Projects

BESS Project Financing

Our large-scale projects are structured through special purpose vehicles (SPV) and enable precise allocation along the capital structure. All projects are developed by wattss, technically supported, and operationally optimized: for maximum performance and transparent governance.

Senior Debt

Stable, predictable interest flows with high collateralization

Mezzanine

Higher returns with moderate risk

Equity

Direct participation in value development and upside from arbitrage, balancing services, and long-term operating models

Rental Business

BESS AssetCo

In addition to utility-scale projects, wattss Capital operates a dedicated AssetCo that finances the growing BESS rental business. The model generates recurring, contractually secured rental income from a diversified portfolio of decentralized BESS assets for industrial and corporate clients, charging infrastructure operators, and public institutions.

Senior Debt

Predictable interest flows, secured by long-term rental contracts

Mezzanine

Attractive returns with growing, diversified rental portfolio

Equity

Participation in platform growth and the scaling effects of the AssetCo

Battery storage is one of the most interesting asset classes of the energy transition. We would be pleased to present our current pipeline and suitable investment structures to you personally.
