uncertainty in energy storage profit model

Is energy storage a profitable business model?

Although academic analysis finds that business models for energy storage are largely unprofitable, annual deployment of storage capacity is globally on the rise (IEA, ). One reason may be generous subsidy support and non-financial drivers like a first-mover advantage (Wood Mackenzie, ).

How do business models of energy storage work?

Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from the operation and the market role of the investor.

How can energy storage be profitable?

Where a profitable application of energy storage requires saving of costs or deferral of investments, direct mechanisms, such as subsidies and rebates, will be effective. For applications dependent on price arbitrage, the existence and access to variable market prices are essential.

How would a storage facility exploit differences in power prices?

In application (8), the owner of a storage facility would seize the opportunity to exploit differences in power prices by selling electricity when prices are high and buying energy when prices are low.

Should energy storage be a 'bolder' approach?

Bolder approaches could include the design of special electricity tariffs for investors in a consumer role that unlock the ability of energy storage to mitigate unexpected demand peaks (Peak Shaving) and balance conventional demand patterns (Consumption Arbitrage) (Fridgen et al., ).

Is energy storage a'renewable integration' or 'generation firming'?

The literature on energy storage frequently includes “renewable integration” or “generation firming” as applications for storage (Eyer and Corey, ; Zafirakis et al., ; Pellow et al., ).
