The rapid growth in the energy storage market is similarly driving demand for project financing. The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.
The lack of direct support for energy storage from governments, the non-announcement of confirmed needs for storage through official government sources, and the existence of incomplete and unclear processes in licensing also hurt attracting investors in the field of storage (Ugarte et al.).
So to speak, energy storage is the precondition of large-scale integration and consumption of RES. However, China's energy storage industry is at the exploration stage and far from commercialization. This restricts the development of RES to certain extent. For this reason, this paper will concentrate on China's energy storage industry.
Technological breakthroughs and evolving market dynamics have triggered a remarkable surge in energy storage deployment across the electric grid in front of and behind-the-meter (BTM).
In 2011, the first national NaSB power plant demonstration "NaSB Energy Storage Project" in "industry-university-research cooperation" mode was launched. It is designed as outdoor warehouse and the overall storage capacity is 1.2 MWh. In December 2014, the first warehouse was connected to the grid and entered into operation phase.
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.
THE TURNING TIDE OF ENERGY STORAGE
This report comes to you at the turning of the tide for energy storage: after two years of rising prices and supply chain disruptions, the energy storage industry is starting to see price declines and much-anticipated supply growth, thanks in large part to tax credits available via the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) and a drop in the pric...
