Billions in energy assets. Zero independent verification. Lenders can't verify. Insurers can't price. Disputes drag on for months. SynthGrid is building the third-party certification that makes these assets bankable - Moody's meets Samsara for energy infrastructure.
Battery energy storage is growing at 25%+ CAGR. But lenders still underwrite these assets using self-reported operator data and one-time engineering assessments that go stale within months.
ACCURE Analytics found that 19% of BESS hardware causes operational problems. When batteries underperform, there's no independent referee. Warranty disputes cost $500K+ in legal and engineering fees. Refinancing stalls because lenders can't verify degradation claims.
SynthGrid is building the third-party certification standard for battery performance - the equivalent of Moody's for energy storage assets. Every certified asset becomes easier to finance, insure, and trade. Every certified asset makes the next one easier to finance.
SynthGrid earns revenue through channel distribution. OEMs and distributors bundle EnergyPassport verification into equipment proposals at their margin. The EPC absorbs it as a line item in the construction budget. The operator never makes a separate purchasing decision. Everyone makes money. Nobody has to be convinced.
One OEM partnership = 10-50 assets over 2-3 years. At a 50 MW / 200 MWh reference asset, verification cost is a fraction of project budget against financing improvement significantly exceeds the one-time verification fee - pays for itself within the first quarter. Warranty disputes and stranded assets build credibility in Month 1. Requirement insertion into one program creates structural demand.
The verification data we generate becomes an underwriting intelligence asset over time - degradation benchmarks, failure pattern libraries, and fleet-level comparison datasets that no one else has.
Conflict of interest mitigation: The channel model reduces issuer-pays conflict - the OEM/distributor, not the asset operator, is the commercial counterparty. The operator being assessed does not choose or pay SynthGrid directly. Additional mitigations: auditable methodology, tamper-evident attestation records, and lender as the ultimate decision-maker.
EnergyPassport's dual-telemetry validation transfers across any asset where input energy and output performance can be independently measured. BESS is the wedge.
Utility-scale and BTM BESS. Degradation curves, capacity verification, warranty compliance, remaining economic life. LFP, NMC, flow batteries.
Electrolyzer verification for IRA 45V and Canada Clean Hydrogen ITC compliance. Alberta Industrial Heartland pilot.
Fleet charging infrastructure performance verification. Residual value certification for battery packs.
Independent yield verification against P50/P90 forecasts. Insurance and refinancing support.
Verified emissions displacement from certified assets. Third-party MRV for voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
Performance uncertainty is one component of BESS financing friction - but not the only one.
