As per McKinsey & Company, the market size of the BESS ecosystem is expected to reach $150 billion by 2030. Thus, blended financing as a financial model should be considered, where public capital can be used as a first-loss capital for BESS projects. This offers private financers the comfort of providing capital at a competitive rate.
Independent BESS projects, only supporting renewable energy projects, can be bundled together, and issued as green bonds to potential large investors.
BESS projects often rely on more complex “stacked” revenue streams than traditional energy generation projects. In developed markets this often results in BESS projects relying on a range of different revenues, with each revenue stream having different characteristics (e.g., some revenues might be capacity-based; others energy-based).
As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), global BESS capacity was 85 GW (approximately 190 GWh) at the end of 2023 and is expected to reach 400 GW (over 1,200 GWh) by 2030 to enable the seamless grid integration of renewable energy, with the net zero 2050 emissions scenario as a target.
For example, in a hybrid project where the BESS will be used to provide other services (e.g., ancillary services) and/or where the dispatch of the BESS will be controlled by the buyer, the parties will need to consider the volumes on which energy revenues are to be accrued.
