What is the Energy Storage pricing survey?

The pricing survey is also intended to provide emerging energy storage technologies a widely accepted system cost benchmark. The Energy Storage Financing study series is an outreach effort to the financial industry to help reduce and mitigate the risk of investing in energy storage technologies and projects.

Which energy storage technologies are included in the 2020 cost and performance assessment?

The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.

How can energy storage project development be accelerated?

The goal is to reduce barriers of entry, reduce transaction costs, and promote wider access to low cost capital in order to accelerate energy storage project development.

Why do energy storage projects need project financing?

The rapid growth in the energy storage market is similarly driving demand for project financing. The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.

What is ESGC's cost and performance assessment?

The second edition of the Cost and Performance Assessment continues ESGC’s efforts of providing a standardized approach to analyzing the cost elements of storage technologies, engaging industry to identify theses various cost elements, and projecting 2030 costs based on each technology’s current state of development.

How can EPC companies improve efficiency?

EPC companies can adopt more efficient practices, such as lean construction (for example, optimizing crew sizes and eliminating downtime and wasted effort), prefabrication of major system elements, simplified bidding, and streamlined interconnection processes. Some of these practices will take hold naturally, as companies gain experience.
