The cost of the technology is decreasing rapidly
Lithium-ion is the most prevalent utility scale storage technology deployed today. Li-Ion battery prices are decreasing rapidly, nearing the $200/kWh range (for Tier 1 battery vendors) in 2020.
Three Fundamental Energy Storage Benefits
- Avoided cost
- Additional revenue received by the storage owner/operator
Source: Energy Storage Association - Increased sustainability through the reduction of CO2 emissions
Avoided Cost Benefits
Revenue Benefits
Potential revenue streams for energy storage systems include:
- Energy Payments for kWh of electricity discharged by batteries
- Capacity Payments, typically a monthly payment made on a $/kW-mo basis
- Ancillary Services Payments, driven by Regional Transmission Organization (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs). The most effective markets for storage compensate based on a mileage, meaning the storage resource is compensated for how many times it ramps up and down in a given hour. Payment = $/∆MW/hr.
