Utility-scale storage is usually financed as an add-on to a project that includes other assets. This can have implications for regulatory and environmental permitting requirements.
Service contracts between energy storage projects and utilities may allow the utility the option to require the storage project to be available to accept electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In many ways, energy storage projects are no different than a typical project finance transaction. Project finance is an exercise in risk allocation. Financings will not close until all risks have been catalogued and covered. However, there are some unique features to energy storage with which investors and lenders will have to become familiar.
If the storage project is providing storage services to a utility, then the utility and the storage project may enter into a service contract that requires the utility to pay both a capacity payment and an energy charge to keep the battery on call to accept electricity for storage or discharge it back to the utility.
