What are energy storage procurement contracts?
Energy storage procurement contracts must also take into account the ever-evolving suite of laws and regulations applicable to energy storage projects, including as a result of the recent change in administration in the United States.
How much does a lithium-ion battery cost?
Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Prices See Largest Drop Since , Falling to $115 per Kilowatt-Hour, BloombergNEF (Dec. 10, ) Id. Id. U.S. Storage Energy Monitor, Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables/American Clean Power Association, at 3 (Dec. ).
Will a new tax policy affect the lithium-ion battery market?
Another year of growth in the utility-scale storage market also marked a second consecutive year of record lows in the installed cost of lithium-ion batteries. However, trade actions and changes to tax policy have the potential to increase costs and dampen short-term growth.
How can battery storage improve solar energy production?
Note rising interest in value streams that are locally realized, e.g., time-shifting to balance rising distributed energy resources (DERs) locally. Battery storage can prevent solar over-production, while facilitating local high-renewables goals. It also may sometimes defer the need for a distribution upgrade (non-wires alternative).
What happens if a battery procurement is delayed?
Delays in the procurement of batteries could lead to failures to comply with regulatory mandates, or, for utilities opting to install storage as non-wires alternatives in place of other system upgrades, the failure to implement necessary system improvements.
What are the challenges of procurement for utility-side storage & solar-plus projects?
The challenges of procurement for utility-side storage and solar-plus projects center largely on early-stage decisions: defining the top-priority use case, but also exploring ways to get more value out of the project and to prepare for market changes over its life.
