Compared to classic renewables, energy storage has really only become an investable asset in Europe over the last few years on the back of technology advances, market price signals, and government support mechanisms.
In the case of the UK, there is currently around 4 GW of energy storage capacity operational. That’s not enough to shift energy across all hours. However, the additional battery pipeline of circa 16 GW committed under the capacity mechanism will get us closer to it.
For short-duration energy storage assets, there are really three key revenue streams for energy storage assets in Europe. The first one is capacity payments, which have become a broadly implemented policy measure by governments to support system reliability and incentivize the installation of certain new power asset types.
Under the German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), grid tariffs and levies are exempted for in front of the metre ESS facilities. This is as long as the stored energy is fed back into the grid. The EEG was updated in 2017 and the exemptions was expanded under §61k for loss of energy and self-supply of storage .
The integration with ESS mitigates that problem by storing the energy and providing it when needed. ESS is also used in power sector for grid stability. ESS through increasing the utilisation of installed resources and supporting greater penetration rates of lower cost carbon resources can reduce the power generation costs .
