Do investors underestimate the value of energy storage?While energy storage is already being deployed to support grids across major power markets, new McKinsey analysis suggests investors often underestimate the value of energy storage in their business cases.
How do I evaluate potential revenue streams from energy storage assets?Evaluating potential revenue streams from flexible assets, such as energy storage systems, is not simple. Investors need to consider the various value pools available to a storage asset, including wholesale, grid services, and capacity markets, as well as the inherent volatility of the prices of each (see sidebar, “Glossary”).
Are battery storage projects financially viable?Different countries have various schemes, like feed-in tariffs or grants, which can significantly impact the financial viability of battery storage projects. Market trends indicate a continuing decrease in the cost of battery storage, making it an increasingly viable option for both grid and off-grid applications.
Should energy storage be undervalued?The revenue potential of energy storage is often undervalued. Investors could adjust their evaluation approach to get a true estimate—improving profitability and supporting sustainability goals.
What will be the cheapest energy storage technology in 2030?By 2030, the average LCOS of li-ion BESS will reach below RMB 0.2/kWh, close to or even lower than that of hydro pump, becoming the cheapest energy storage technology. Database contains the global lithium-ion battery market supply and demand analysis, focusing on the cell segment in the ESS sector.
How has the cost of battery storage changed over the past decade?The cost of battery storage systems has been declining significantly over the past decade. By the beginning of 2023 the price of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, had fallen by about 89% since 20
