BESS - Portfolio
Rison operates a portfolio of BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) across the Nordics. Our model secures financing for the systems without requiring the client to give up equity. Instead, we lease out the batteries under fair and predictable long-term terms, providing access to energy storage without capital strain.
Financing a new Energy System
Rison and SEB Nordic Energy creates an opportunity for Real-Estate owners and Energy Storage Farms to get access to BESS-systems through a long-term renting model.
The portfolio lets investors gain long term annual returns with collateral in both the batteries, farms and the counterparty.
How the set-up works
The core idea is simple: we own the batteries and rent them out to end users through long-term lease agreements. By purchasing the batteries and placing them in a dedicated AssetCo, we enable a model where clients pay a fixed annual fee for full access to the batteries, while still retaining all revenue generated from their use.
Because we partner with large institutional funds focused on green investments, we can offer highly competitive financing terms.
Market Outlook:
The future of BESS
BESS in the Nordics is currently heavily focused on battery farms. However, the market is expected to shift toward a model where BESS systems are placed “behind the meter,” primarily for self-consumption. By owning and operating the systems at these farms, we are laying the groundwork for a future where real estate owners can rent battery capacity as needed, and only when it is profitable to do so.
Benefits for the Client

Project in Focus: Varberg-Skällinge 2:2
Rison has financed the batteries and associated hardware systems for a mid-sized energy storage farm outside Varberg, Sweden.
Through SEB Nordic Energy, we have covered approximately 70% of the project’s capex without taking any equity in the asset. This allows the developer to focus on operations while putting less of their own capital at risk.
