Does project finance apply to energy storage projects?
The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects. Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project.
Does the EU have a target for energy storage assets?
While the EU Commission has not yet set specific targets for energy storage assets, as part of the electricity market reform plans they announced a list of recommendations on energy storage. These recommendations offer member states guidance on how best to exploit the potential of energy storage.
What do market participants want from energy storage solutions?
Market participants also indicated that they wanted national targets set for energy storage solutions, and more efficient permitting procedures to support them in the development of storage assets. The government responded to some of the feedback from market participants, issuing its first Energy Storage Roadmap in June .
Are solar and wind projects a good investment?
These projects will have long-term predictable revenue streams. In addition, lenders may be willing to finance merchant cashflows, but with less leverage and subject to detailed market studies and cash sweeps. These trends for solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.
Will a tax credit be available for energy storage projects?
However, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of , tax credits are now available for standalone energy storage systems, and thus lenders may be willing to provide bridge capital that is underwritten based on the receipt of proceeds from an anticipated tax equity investment, similar to renewable energy projects.
How big will energy storage capacity be in ?
An estimated 387 gigawatts (GW) (or 1,143 gigawatt hours (GWh)) of new energy storage capacity is expected to be added globally from to , which would result in the size of global energy storage capacity increasing by 15 times compared to the end of .
