About the Client:
The Client was a global energy company. They were interested in expanding their reach and were considering investment in a company that provides an optimization and trading software platform for grid-scale battery storage.
Challenge:
The Client engaged PreScouter in this Research Support Service Project to evaluate the potential investment opportunity in a particular energy storage system (ESS) software company.
Approach:
PreScouter undertook both secondary and primary research to provide a high-level scan of the ESS software space and profile software systems for comparison with the target company’s offering. The team presented their findings to the Client via 6 Intelligence Briefs.
PreScouter then employed 2 Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), who provided insights into ESS software, the US energy market, and the future of energy storage. These insights were used by PreScouter, supported by a mathematical model comparing multiple scenarios of an in-house build versus acquisition of the target company, to develop a final technical and financial assessment and provide recommendations to the Client.
Outcome:
PreScouter delivered a technical and financial assessment of the options to inform the Client’s decision.
