Revenue mechanics

50% curtailment (Cyprus 2027 baseline). BESS captures 87% → dispatches at DAM evening peak. RTE 86.32% AC–AC.

SourceMWh/yr€/MWhY1 Revenue
Solar — uncurtailed 50% 589 140.88 €83K
BESS — curtailed × capture × RTE 445 195.00 €87K
Total gross Y1 1,034 €170K

DAM basis: 134 TSOC day-ahead days (1 Oct 2025 – 11 Feb 2026). BESS charges from curtailed solar at €0 cost. Grid arbitrage (buy/sell) not yet legal in Cyprus (Feb 2026). Spring/summer peaks observed >€340/MWh (Apr 2026); figures use conservative winter-biased sample.

Revenue sensitivity

Curtailment scenarioY1 Gross RevIndic. IRR
Upside — 35% curtailment€169K~16–20%
Base — 50% curtailment€170K~10–12%
Downside — 65% curtailment€152K~13–17%

Revenue increases with higher curtailment because BESS dispatches at evening peak (€183/MWh avg) vs direct solar (€141/MWh avg) — provided BESS is sized to capture daily curtailed volume.

Investment rationale

Why Cyprus BESS now?
Curtailment on the island grid is rising rapidly (50%+ at peak solar hours). BESS earns at €0 charge cost — storing otherwise-curtailed solar and dispatching at evening peak (€183–340/MWh). This structural arbitrage is locked in before DAM grid-charging legislation (expected 2027+) further compresses economics for late movers.
Key risks
Low Technology — Tier-1 LFP BESS, 7,000-cycle / 15yr warranty.
Low Permitting — CERA + planning already issued.
Med Grid connection — Preliminary DSO application submitted; formal EAC connection offer expected Q3 2026
Med DAM price — conservative TSOC sample used; April peaks >€340/MWh.
Low Regulatory — Cyprus CIT 15% fixed from Jan 2026.
