Virtual asset benchmarks now available in France
The France virtual asset BESS benchmark, ME vBESS FR, is now available for 1, 2 and 4-hour batteries. It covers modelled revenues across day-ahead, the intraday auction, intraday continuous (ID3), FCR, and aFRR capacity and energy markets. View the benchmarks →
You can also create a bespoke virtual asset to match your own asset. Configure duration, cycles, and import and export capacity, then compare it against the French market.
Why it's useful
A virtual asset benchmark represents theoretical asset performance derived by running Modo Energy's global dispatch model against historic market conditions. The benchmark helps:
- Developers compare battery durations and grid connection sizes.
- Investors and lenders assess modelled revenues using an independent reference, by duration and market.
- Asset owners and optimisers compare real asset performance against the benchmark, or build a custom benchmark that matches their own site.
