WHY BATTERY STORAGE?
A Different Kind of Infrastructure Investment.
Battery energy storage offers access to a fast-growing alternative asset class with return drivers that are less directly tied to public markets. As Australia enters a major battery investment cycle, selected BESS projects can offer long-term infrastructure exposure, target double-digit annual returns and participation in the assets helping modernise the electricity grid.
For investors reassessing property exposure amid rising costs and tax uncertainty, RegenX provides a different way to put capital to work: investing directly into real battery infrastructure designed to generate income from energy markets while supporting the transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
Returns are project-specific and not guaranteed.
DIFFERENT ASSETS. DIFFERENT DRIVERS.
Where Battery Infrastructure Fits in a Portfolio.
Battery infrastructure can provide project-based real-asset exposure with a different mix of underlying economic drivers to listed equities, bonds and property.
| Asset Class | Illustrative Annual Return | Primary Return Driver | Liquidity | Key Risks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crypto | −50% to +100%+ | Market demand, adoption and speculation | High | Very high volatility, market, regulatory and custody risk |
| Listed Equities | 8%–20% | Company earnings and market valuations | High | Market, company and valuation risk |
| BESS Infrastructure | 10%–15% target p.a. | Energy contracts, electricity-market revenue and asset operation | Low | Market, counterparty and residual project risk. Certain equipment and property risks may be insured. |
| Private Equity | 10%–20% | Business growth and exit valuation | Low | Business, valuation and exit risk |
| Private Credit | 7%–12% | Borrower interest payments | Low | Credit, default and liquidity risk |
| Property | 5%–10% | Rental income and asset values | Low–medium | Rates, occupancy and valuation risk |
| Bonds | 3%–6% | Interest rates and credit | Generally high | Rates, inflation and credit risk |
The comparison is descriptive only. Battery infrastructure is not necessarily lower risk or independent of broader market conditions, and individual project outcomes depend on the specific project, structure and revenue arrangements.
HOW A BATTERY CAN EARN
Four Ways a Battery Can Generate Revenue.
A battery can earn from more than one source. The mix varies by project, but these are the four revenue types investors will commonly see.
02
Energy Arbitrage
Charge when electricity prices are lower and discharge when prices are higher.
03
FCAS & Grid Services
Earn revenue by helping support electricity-system stability and frequency control.
04
VPP & Capacity
Participate in aggregated energy services or capacity-based arrangements.
IMPORTANT INVESTMENT INFORMATION
Understand the Risk Before the Return.
Battery infrastructure investments involve risk. Investors may lose some or all of their invested capital. Investments may be illiquid and may need to be held for the full project term.
Project revenues and investment outcomes may differ from forecasts. Returns are not guaranteed. Risks can include project development and operating risk, battery degradation, counterparty risk, electricity-market exposure, regulatory change and liquidity risk.
