GUERNSEY could be using large grid-scale batteries to store energy as early as 2030 – despite the island''s draft electricity strategy stating they would not be ''cost optimal''.
Several key factors influence the ROI of a BESS. In order to assess the ROI of a battery energy storage system, we need to understand that there are two types of factors to keep in mind: internal factors that we can influence within the organization/business, and external factors that are beyond our control.

External Factors that influence the ROI of a BESS
The cost of electricity, including peak and off-peak rates, significantly impacts the ROI. Energy storage systems can store cheaper off-peak energy for use during expensive peak periods. Subsidies, tax credits, and rebates offered by governments can enhance the financial attractiveness of ESS installations.
Government incentives and subsidies play a significant role in the economics of battery storage. In the United States, the investment tax credit (ITC), which offers a tax credit for solar energy systems, has been extended to include battery storage when installed in conjunction with solar panels.
According to some projections, by 2030, the cost of lithium-ion batteries could decrease by an additional 30–40%, driven by technological advancements and increased production. This trend is expected to open up new markets and applications for battery storage, further driving economic viability.
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.
