Breakfast Seminar - Financing Perspectives on BESS
On Tuesday 29 September 2026, the Energy & Infrastructure team is organising the third edition of the BESS Breakfast Seminar, at our Amsterdam office. Join us for a networking breakfast and connect with peers from across the industry.
This year, we turn to a topic that is becoming increasingly central as the BESS market matures: financing and bankability of BESS.
During this edition, our speakers will explore the financing and bankability of BESS projects from both legal and financial perspectives. Bram Devlies, Counsel at Loyens & Loeff, will introduce the key regulatory and contractual principles underpinning bankability. Coen Hutters, battery storage, electricity grids and energy transition expert at Rabobank, will provide a lender's perspective on BESS projects. Finally, Ehsan Shirzadi, Partner at Loyens & Loeff, will discuss the financing considerations and documentation required to successfully bring a BESS project to financial close.
