Contract framework

How a Walltron BESS lease is structured.

A working overview of the legal architecture behind every Walltron lease agreement — the key chapters that always need explicit treatment and the allocation of risk between owner and operator.

At a glance

Three things to settle before any clause is drafted.

Every Walltron lease is shaped around the same three commercial questions. The detailed chapters that follow only make sense once these are answered for the specific asset.

A

What is leased

The agreed operating rights to a specific BESS — defined by usable capacity, power rating, grid connection, and the periods during which Walltron may dispatch.

B

How rent is paid

A fixed monthly amount calibrated against capacity and power, paid regardless of merchant-market outcomes. Indexation and adjustment mechanics are agreed in advance.

C

Where risk sits

Commercial and operational risks transfer to Walltron within the agreed perimeter. Asset ownership, residual value, and post-term recovery remain with the owner.

Chapter 01

Subject of the lease.

  • Perimeter - identification of the BESS, its location, and the specifics of its grid connection.
  • Usable capacity (MWh) and power rating (MW) included in the lease.
Interventions outside the perimeter — physical modification of the asset, change of grid connection, or sub-leasing to a third party — require the explicit cooperation of both parties.
Chapter 02

Rights and obligations of the parties.

  • Walltron's operating rights within the agreed perimeter.
  • The owner's cooperation in licensing, data handover, and communication with the grid operator.
  • Information rights, reporting, and notification of interventions affecting the asset.
Chapter 03

Rent and payment terms.

  • Fixed monthly rent.
  • Payment terms and due date.
  • Indexation mechanism, if any.
  • Settlement of any optional performance-linked component.
Chapter 04

Liability and insurance.

  • Allocation of liability between the operational side and the asset side.
  • Liability caps and exclusions.
  • Required insurance lines and minimum insurance cover.
  • Notice and cooperation obligations in the event of an insurable loss.
Chapter 05

Contractual penalties (smluvní pokuty).

  • Penalties for material breaches of specifically defined obligations.
  • Predefined triggers for their application.
  • Coexistence with other remedies and claims for damages.
Chapter 06

Force majeure and material change of circumstances.

  • Definition of force-majeure events and the obligation to notify them without undue delay.
  • Temporary suspension of the affected obligations for the duration of the impediment.
  • Duty to mitigate impacts and resume performance without undue delay.
  • A renegotiation mechanism where a material change of circumstances fundamentally disrupts the economic balance of the cooperation.
Chapter 07

Term, termination, and end-of-term handover.

  • Three-month trial period.
  • Conditions subsequent and automatic triggers for termination.
  • End-of-term handover and final settlement.
The agreement is always tailored to the specific asset and the specific cooperation. In practice it also contains additional provisions beyond those listed here, for example governing-law language, service of notices, confidentiality, cooperation duties, and technical schedules.
Risk allocation

Who bears which risk.

The contract is built around an explicit allocation of risk between the asset owner and Walltron. The matrix below summarises the default position; specific deals may shift one or two items, but the overall shape is consistent across all Walltron leases.

Risk category
Owner
Walltron
Asset ownership and residual value
Bears
Physical degradation and warranty claims
Bears
Balancing-services price risk
Bears
Counterparty settlement in the balancing market
Bears
Operational dispatch decisions within the perimeter
Bears
Compliance with grid-operator instructions
Bears
Tax treatment of rent income
Bears
Regulatory change affecting the lease structure
Shared (renegotiation)

Force majeure events

This matrix reflects the default allocation in a Walltron lease. Specific deals may move one or two items in either direction depending on the asset profile, contract length, and the parties' commercial preferences. Final allocation is always set in the individual lease agreement and prevails over this summary.
