Revenue mechanics

50% curtailment (Cyprus 2027 baseline). BESS captures 65% → dispatches at DAM evening peak. RTE 86.32% AC–AC.

Source	MWh/yr	€/MWh	Y1 Revenue
Solar — uncurtailed 50%	8,580	140.88	€1,209K
BESS — curtailed × capture × RTE	4,834	195.00	€943K
Total gross Y1	13,414	—	€2,151K

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 scenario	Y1 Gross Rev	Indic. IRR
Upside — 35% curtailment	€2,455K	~20–24%
Base — 50% curtailment	€2,151K	~13–15%
Downside — 65% curtailment	€1,789K	~11–15%

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.
High Grid connection — Preliminary DSO refs issued (400387217–400387472). TSO confirmed no area grid capacity (Jan 2023). EAC/TSO area substation upgrade in progress — est. completion Q4 2026. Final binding terms not yet issued.
Med DAM price — conservative TSOC sample used; April peaks >€340/MWh.
Low Regulatory — Cyprus CIT 15% fixed from Jan 2026.
