Why is project finance difficult for energy storage?
It has traditionally been difficult to secure project finance for energy storage for two key reasons. Firstly, the nascent nature of energy storage technology means that fixed income lenders and senior debt providers are naturally risk averse.
Is battery storage a risky investment?
Firstly, the nascent nature of energy storage technology means that fixed income lenders and senior debt providers are naturally risk averse. Battery storage has less of a track record than other renewable energy assets such as solar and wind power.
What are the obstacles to a battery project?
The second, bigger obstacle to the project financing of storage assets is that the revenue stack for batteries is more complicated than for generating assets. Unlike wind and solar projects, battery projects are not generating electricity. Rather, they provide a service and act as arbitrage assets.
How has project finance impacted wind and solar projects?
As technology and development risks have been overcome, so the role of project finance in the roll-out of wind and solar projects has hit new heights. Quite simply, project finance has super-charged the deployment of renewables.
Are battery projects generating electricity?
Unlike wind and solar projects, battery projects are not generating electricity. Rather, they provide a service and act as arbitrage assets. With a battery storage asset, electricity is bought and sold at different times of day to make money by storing electricity when prices are low and discharging it when prices are high.
