What Asset Managers Wish Developers Had Addressed Earlier

How decisions made at the development stage can create operational uncertainties years later.

• Which procurement choices (e.g. warranties, data access rights, LTSA structures, augmentation obligations) are hardest to renegotiate post-COD?
• Finance modelers and legal teams routinely sign off on technical assumptions they don’t fully understand, where does that asymmetry show up in the P&L?
• What do investors still misunderstand about the day-to-day cost of running a battery asset, and who is responsible for closing that gap?
• When an asset changes hands, what does a proper technical due diligence look like, and what do buyers routinely miss on state of degradation, maintenance records, and warranty transfers?
