Deciphering the Energy Storage Value Proposition

Deciphering the Energy Storage Value and Summary Findings While Energy Storage has grown rapidly over the past couple of years and several hundred MWs of projects are under development, the Value to investors of Energy Storage remains somewhat nebulous. This paper identifies leading Energy Storage technologies, defines key applications, reviews current leading battery projects, and estimates investor returns for differing applications and markets. Further, the paper discusses the key factors driving Storage economics and investor returns. Today, in the right application and market, battery Storage can provide attractive returns. Clearly, there are other applications where the economics today do not meet a minimum threshold. The Storage economic Proposition will improve in all applications as capital costs fall, which they are expected to do.

3 White Paper | Deciphering the Energy Storage Value Propositon Mature storage technologies include lead-acid batteries, compressed air energy storage (CAES), pumped storage hydro (PSH), flywheels and lithium ion batteries.
