Discovery Questions
Setting the Table: Where this conversation starts
- Tell me briefly why your team is exploring grid-scale storage right now.
- How many sites or feeders is your organization currently evaluating for storage capacity?
- Who on your team will own technical due diligence, and who owns final commercial decision-making for a project like this?
- When do you need an installed asset to be delivering measurable value to your operation?
- Describe the primary business outcome your organization must achieve with storage, for example avoided transmission upgrade dollars, capacity backstop, or renewable firming.
Where the grid's pain shows up
- Which recent operational event or forecast miss pushed storage for your organization from 'nice to have' to 'must consider'?
- Estimate the annual cost or exposure that event created for your operation, either as direct dollars or avoided upgrade cost.
- List the internal stakeholders who feel that pressure most acutely, and indicate which stakeholder has authority over capital commitments.
- If that operational pressure eased tomorrow, what would be the top reason your organization would still move forward with storage?
- Give one concrete failure mode in your current setup that storage must prevent for the project to be justified.
- Which single metric below would make your team stop the project immediately if the proposed storage solution could not meet it?
Mapping the site and interconnection reality
- If your preferred site missed its interconnection study window, how would that change your schedule or budget?
- Provide the site address(es) or feeder ID(s) for the top candidate locations and the current point of interconnection for each.
- Do any of your candidate sites already have a queue position or an interconnection study attached?
- How much historical metered load and generation data at 15-minute or sub-hourly resolution can your team share for modeling?
- Who in your organization manages SCADA or meter data access, and can they export a standardized CSV or provide an API feed?
- Estimate the expected hosting capacity or transformer headroom at each interconnection point in MW.
- What upgrade has the utility indicated might be required for interconnection at these points, and who is currently expected to fund it?
- Would a required utility-side upgrade that increases project capex by more than 25 percent terminate your consideration of this site?
Constraints, approvals, and safety gates
- Identify the safety or permitting condition your team assumes will be straightforward but that could realistically delay energization.
- List the local approvals and their typical timelines in your jurisdiction, for example fire marshal, AHJ inspection, environmental release, and building permits.
- Name the authority having jurisdiction for fire-safety sign-off in your area, and indicate whether they have written guidance for large battery energy storage installations.
- Are there land, easement, or access constraints that could block construction staging, deliveries, or placement of trailers and equipment?
- When community or environmental concerns arise in projects like this, which issues have historically attracted the most pushback for your sites?
- Suppose your AHJ required a fire suppression system that adds 10 to 20 percent to capital cost, would your team accept the added cost or pause the project?
- What single site risk would make your organization stop the project immediately?
Performance, revenue, and financial guardrails
- Would your financial model still meet your internal return thresholds if wholesale energy revenues declined 30 percent year over year for three years?
- Provide the minimum IRR, NPV threshold, or simple payback range your procurement gate requires.
- Select which revenue streams your team prioritizes when underwriting a storage project.
- Explain how your organization currently mitigates wholesale price volatility risk, for example long-term contracts, hedges, or reliance on internal reserves.
- Tell me one modeling assumption you think is commonly optimistic in pro formas you review, and why that assumption worries your team.
- Assuming sensitivity analysis shows a greater than 20 percent downside to NPV under stressed scenarios, who in your organization signs the final go/no-go and how quickly could they act?
- Choose the modeled outcome below that would cause your team to pause procurement immediately.
The other options you're weighing
- Why would your team keep the current plan—grid upgrade, peaker plant, or no action—instead of contracting a storage solution now?
- Identify the external vendors, internal teams, or incumbent suppliers your team has evaluated or plans to evaluate for this need.
- Select which of the following categories have submitted formal proposals to your procurement team.
- Name the internal stakeholder who has proposed solving this without an outside partner, and summarize the capability they claim to provide.
- Under what specific conditions would your organization choose to stay with the incumbent or the in-house approach instead of switching to an external developer-operator?
- Imagine the incumbent matched your top commercial term, what remaining barrier would still prevent your team from switching to a new supplier?
Operational readiness, integrations, and data gating questions
- Can your team provide API access to your EMS and a two-year dispatch history for modeling within four weeks if requested?
- Please enumerate the systems and vendors we must integrate with for monitoring and dispatch, and indicate which provide public APIs.
- Does your team have a dedicated project manager and a named O&M point of contact for post-commissioning operations?
- Give the number of FTEs or contractor hours your organization can commit to project delivery over the next 12 months.
- State who will own telemetry and performance data after commissioning, and whether your team will allow remote read access for independent validation.
- Are there internal procurement, security, or legal reviews that routinely add more than 8 weeks to contracting in your organization?
- Do you have a named person authorized to approve data releases and site access within your target timeline?
Decision path, deal killers, and next steps
- Assuming technical due diligence proves positive, what is the single approval your team would need to win the contract within this quarter?
- Pick the procurement model your organization prefers for this project.
- Share the budget band your finance team has provisioned for a project of this scale.
- State who has procurement authority to sign the contract and the earliest date they could execute.
- Would a pilot or staged acceptance tied to measured KPIs accelerate your internal approvals, and if so which KPI would be decisive?
- In the event a pilot proves the modeled revenue and availability next quarter, what would stop your organization from signing that same week?
- Rank the top three risks that must be mitigated before your team will commit, select up to three.
- Choose the target dates your organization is working toward for final investment decision and commercial operation.
- Share any existing studies, interconnection reports, or financial models your team wants us to review first.
