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.
How do you value energy storage projects?
The central tool for valuing an energy storage project is the project valuation model. Many still use simple Excel models to evaluate projects, but to capture the opportunities in the power market, it is increasing required to utilize something with far greater granularity in time and manage multiple aspects of the hardware.
What is the importance of valuing an energy storage project?
IMPORTANCE OF VALUATION There are two key aspects of valuing an energy storage project; the methodology used, and the value arrived at. Both components are important, but the complexity of the methodology is many times overlooked (both unintentionally and intentionally).
Are battery energy storage projects financially viable?
Barrague highlighted different geographic markets where battery energy storage projects are financially viable. He emphasized that each market has unique price signals and market design constructs that allow for monetizing battery services.
