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.
However, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, 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.
It is now clear that energy storage systems (ESSs) can provide valuable services to the grid. For systems to be deployed, however, the value of the services that they provide must exceed the costs of the system over its lifetime. This introduces the first challenge surrounding energy storage financing – quantifying the benefits of an ESS.
The next consideration is for the energy storage industry to evaluate the policies and financing models that have allowed the renewable energy industry to expand over the last decade and to replicate what worked well and improve on the identified shortcomings.
The energy storage industry has made great progress in developing technology, standards, and market policies and is poised to offer solutions to rapidly changing energy markets. Currently, energy storage as a solution is more inhibited by project financing than by the technology itself.
