The verification layer
the grid doesn't have yet

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.

Billions in energy infrastructure. No verification standard.

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.

Channel distribution

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.

Every asset we certify builds our dataset. Every dataset makes the next certification more accurate. This is a compounding data moat, not a one-time service.

One verification engine. Multiple energy markets.

EnergyPassport's dual-telemetry validation transfers across any asset where input energy and output performance can be independently measured. BESS is the wedge.

Five forces converging
at the same time.

DATACENTER EXPLOSION
100+ GW of new load by 2030
AI datacenters are adding the largest, most volatile loads the grid has ever seen. Regulators are requiring behind-the-meter battery storage. Every one of those batteries needs performance verification.
HARDWARE FAILURES
19% of BESS causes operational problems
ACCURE Analytics documented a systemic quality problem. Lenders know it. Warranty disputes are increasing. The market is actively looking for an independent verification standard.
LENDER DEMAND
Financing gap for mid-market assets
European BESS debt deployment grew 4x+ in one year. No credit rating agency has a BESS-specific degradation methodology. Continuous verified performance data fills the gap lenders are pricing around.
NO INCUMBENT
Operations tools exist. Bankability tools don't.
ACCURE and TWAICE read BMS data and help operators optimize - but a lender can't put a dashboard in a credit file. Traditional IE firms do one-time assessments before financing closes. After close, nothing. Nobody solves bankability - continuous, independent, cross-referenced verification that a lender can act on. The category is open.
GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES
$15B+/year in BESS incentives with no verification
Government programs globally are deploying tens of billions in battery subsidies with performance clawback provisions but no independent way to verify compliance. BC Hydro funds 80% of installations. Australia committed $7.2B. Saudi Arabia $34B. These programs need an accountability layer. This breaks the chicken-and-egg problem: governments mandate, operators comply.

What SynthGrid does not solve.

Performance uncertainty is one component of BESS financing friction - but not the only one.

What we address
Performance verification - can this asset physically deliver what the financial model assumes? Degradation tracking, capacity verification, revenue verification, remaining economic life estimates. That claim is narrow but defensible.
What we do not address
Revenue certainty (ISO market volatility), counterparty risk, regulatory risk, and collateral structure are all significant financing barriers. These are real. They are outside our scope.
