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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
