valuable template for other BESS project financings around the world. A key element of this template is a project management framework that is replicable for other projects, which is in contrast to the traditional approach to energy storage projects, which has had the effect of restricting investment because it requires financie
Although risk-taking investors seeking a higher return on their investment in BESS can translate into higher energy tariffs, it is not ideal for large-scale adoption of BESS. Moreover, the capital available with this class of investors is limited compared to this solution's growth potential.
This offers comfort to private financers to provide capital at a competitive rate. Independent BESS projects, only supporting renewable energy projects, can be bundled together, and issued as green bonds to potential large investors.
As per McKinsey & Company, the market size of the BESS ecosystem is expected to reach $150 billion by 2030.
