Energy storage and the flexibility it can provide are critical to the energy transition. Properly sized and sited, it can provide benefits such as power system operability and resilience, power adequacy and, at least in part, replace the need for grid expansion or reinforcement. But: Who will pay for the benefits or services, and over what period of time? All benefits involve revenue streams that may be volatile and discourage banks from providing long-term financing. Some benefits are systemic, while others are of benefit to private actors. How can contracts capture both and underpin financing? Can energy storage be financed without contracts and what are the risks of doing so? - Dr. Marc Daube |
