These offtakers conduct BESS procurement either through the EPC route, where they procure the BESS product, or via the IFP route, where they procure flexibility services.
Investment in BESS is predicted to continually grow over the course of the 2020s. McKinsey & Company analysis1 shows more than $5 billion was invested in BESS in 2022, an almost threefold increase from the previous year. Looking ahead, it’s expected the global BESS market will reach $120-$150 billion by 2030.
With the reduction in costs, BESS project operators would be prudent to ensure the replacement costs of their assets are accurately valued for 2024 and declare updated values to their insurers. BESS projects operating for several years may have lower replacement costs in 2024 than they had earlier.
Several factors can influence the cost of a BESS, including: Larger systems cost more, but they often provide better value per kWh due to economies of scale. For instance, utility-scale projects benefit from bulk purchasing and reduced per-unit costs compared to residential installations. Costs can vary depending on where the system is installed.
Insurer confidence in BESS has steadily grown over the last few years, leading to a marked increase in supply of available capacity and a relative flattening of premium rates.
A BESS project’s ability to demonstrate effective risk management against thermal runaway during the design and planning stage is of primary risk focus for insurers.
