Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from
The model shows that it is already profitable to provide energy-storage solutions to a subset of commercial customers in each of the four most important applications--demand-charge
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.
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”).
This could be a mistake though, because there is no more curtailed solar to charge the devices, which means that the LCOE for the second set of energy storage investments would be $0.04/kWh plus $0.06/kWh from charging with existing, dispatchable generators.
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.
Because the driving factor behind the profitability of energy arbitrage, which is the buying of energy during low-price periods and selling it back during relatively higher price periods, is the spread between prices, not the sale price, LCOE becomes less meaningful in this context except in the case of a generation-storage hybrid plant.
The use of stochastic models, coupled with innovative commercial strategies, could help operators better assess the potential of these assets—enhancing business cases and supporting the continued acceleration of the energy transition.
