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.
According to BloombergNEF (BNEF), more than $262 billion of investment will be needed for stationary energy storage by 2030. BNEF's 2021 Global Energy Storage Outlook projects significant growth in this sector, with Yayoi Sekine, the firm's head of decentralized energy, stating that 'this is the energy storage decade'.
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”).
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.
