Battery energy storage systems can address the challenge of intermittent renewable energy. But innovative financial models are needed to encourage deployment.
The success in recent capacity market auctions in Italy and the UK, as well as other European countries that are building large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) projects, signals that the European and UK regulatory environment is providing a degree of limited support to the technology.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global battery storage capacity as of 2021 was 4GW-8GW. Factoring in renewable targets, the IEA expects battery storage capacity will need to increase to 148GW by 2025 and 585GW by 2030.
Battery storage has less of a track record than other renewable energy assets such as solar and wind power. The lack of comfort on the part of lenders has meant that the project financing packages available have been generally unappealing, with low gearing and onerous covenants.
While long-term institutional debt funding of stand-alone and portfolio battery storage transactions has been relatively limited, there is a growing appetite for long-term nonrecourse debt funding of hybrids, which benefit from 20- or 30-year PPA offtake terms.
KBRA has observed an important distinction in the funding tools for battery storage depending on whether batteries are being funded on a stand-alone basis or as part of a portfolio, versus those that are part of hybrid projects (utility-scale solar or wind combined with battery storage).
