Can you finance a solar energy storage project?
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. However, there are certain additional considerations in structuring a project finance transaction for an energy storage project.
Why do energy storage projects need project financing?
The rapid growth in the energy storage market is similarly driving demand for project financing. The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.
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.
On the market front, increased investor interest and financing options are accelerating project pipelines. Structured financing models, such as energy performance contracts and green bonds, are lowering capital hurdles and attracting non-traditional stakeholders into the energy storage domain.How to finance battery energy storage | World Economic Forum
