Battery-as-a-Service for Network Resilience
Battery-as-a-Service provides Australian infrastructure owners and network operators with a funded pathway to modernise backup power assets Electrostatic battery storage — engineered to outlast the infrastructure it protects. Rated across a −40°C to +65°C operating range with no active cooling, less than 1% degradation per decade, 97% round-trip efficiency, and a 12-year warranty backed by an expected 45-year service life, supported by over 11 years of proven field performance, and eligibility assessment for green or transition-aligned debt funding.
· For network operators: Upgrade backup power in line with planned infrastructure refresh, replacement, and resilience programs.
· For infrastructure owners: Improve site resilience in Australian heat, dust, remote-access, and cooling-constrained environments.
· For finance partners: Identify projects that may align with recognised green or transition-aligned funding pathways.
A Funded Pathway to Modern Backup Power
Battery-as-a-Service, or BaaS, gives network operators and infrastructure owners access to resilient energy storage without requiring them to purchase the battery assets upfront.
Instead of a traditional capital purchase, the system is funded through a dedicated green finance structure. The customer hosts the equipment and pays a predictable monthly operating fee for resilient backup power aligned to the infrastructure lifecycle.
The model is designed to support infrastructure lifecycle planning by helping operators upgrade, refresh, and maintain backup power assets without adding long-term ownership or obsolescence burden.
The solution is positioned as an alternative to conventional AGM and lithium battery systems, supporting Australian sites that need safer chemistry, high-temperature tolerance, and lower lifetime operating complexity.
A Simple Model for Funded Deployment
The BaaS model brings together finance, product supply, product engineering support, and client-appointed field delivery partners to support a clear deployment pathway.
Terrion supports the model as the product supplier and product engineering partner. Financing, ownership, installation, monitoring, maintenance, and ongoing service responsibilities should be defined by the customer, financier, delivery partner, or project structure.
Why Infrastructure Owners Choose BaaS
No Upfront Capital Outlay
BaaS can convert large capital purchases into predictable monthly operating costs. Depending on the agreed funding structure, hardware procurement, logistics, installation, and commissioning may be funded through the green finance structure, helping operators preserve capital for core network investments.
Designed for Heat, Remote Sites, and Lower Cooling Demand
Selected non-lithium, non-AGM storage technologies are designed for demanding Australian environments, including high-temperature locations, remote infrastructure sites, and cooling-constrained cabinets. Where cooling demand is reduced, sites may use less energy and achieve measurable emissions benefits.
Renewable-Ready and Diesel-Reduction Support
Battery-as-a-Service can support sites that are reducing reliance on diesel backup power. When paired with solar or other renewable generation, suitable energy storage may help capture available renewable energy, reduce generator runtime, lower diesel consumption, and improve resilience across remote or off-grid infrastructure sites.
This makes BaaS especially relevant for Australian networks operating in high-cost, hard-to-access, or emissions-sensitive locations, where reducing refuelling logistics, generator maintenance, noise, and emissions can create operational and environmental benefits.
Why Infrastructure Owners Choose BaaS
Potential Alignment with Green and Transition Finance
Deployments that deliver verified energy-efficiency gains may support green or transition finance objectives, helping infrastructure owners and financiers align resilience upgrades with sustainability goals.
Aligned to the Infrastructure Lifecycle
BaaS can be introduced at key lifecycle points, including replacement planning, network resilience upgrades, sustainability programs, asset refresh cycles, and remote-site optimisation. This helps operators modernise backup power progressively rather than waiting for end-of-life failure.
Lower Performance and Obsolescence Risk
Long-term service contracts can be aligned with manufacturer warranty coverage, helping protect operators from unexpected mid-term replacement costs and technology-performance risk.
Eligibility Criteria
BaaS deployment eligibility is assessed against recognised green bond and transition-aligned debt funding criteria. These criteria may draw on international market benchmarks, including the International Capital Market Association Green Bond Principles and Climate Transition Bond guidance, and Australian market guidance such as the Australian Sustainable Finance Taxonomy.
Projects are expected to demonstrate a credible environmental outcome, such as reduced energy consumption, lower diesel generator runtime, renewable-energy integration, reduced emissions, or improved climate resilience across critical infrastructure sites.
Eligibility is typically validated through project-level evidence, including site conditions, baseline energy or diesel use, forecast savings, deployment scope, funding structure, and alignment with applicable green or transition finance documentation.
What Supports Funding Alignment
A project, site, operator, or client may be suitable for BaaS review if the project can demonstrate alignment with relevant technical, environmental, and funding considerations.
1. Technical Screening Criteria (TSC):
o Activities are assessed against relevant technical screening criteria, including performance thresholds and metrics that are appropriate to the Australian context and informed by credible decarbonisation pathways.
o These thresholds help determine whether an activity may be treated as a green baseline or a credible transition pathway.
2. Do No Significant Harm (DNSH):
o The project or asset must not cause significant harm to any of the broader environmental objectives, which include climate change adaptation and resilience, biodiversity and ecosystem protection, sustainable water management, pollution prevention, and the transition to a circular economy.
3. Minimum Social Safeguards (MSS):
o Issuers are expected to consider applicable human rights, labour, stakeholder engagement, First Nations engagement, free, prior and informed consent, and cultural heritage requirements where relevant to the project and funding framework.
Green and Transition Funding Context
• Green bond funding generally supports assets or activities that are already low-emission or directly enable environmental outcomes, such as renewable energy, clean infrastructure, and energy-efficiency projects.
• Transition-aligned funding can support credible decarbonisation pathways for activities or infrastructure portfolios seeking measurable emissions reductions over time.
• Project eligibility depends on the issuer, use of proceeds, project evidence, external review process, and applicable finance documentation.
