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.
It has traditionally been difficult to secure project finance for energy storage for two key reasons. Firstly, the nascent nature of energy storage technology means that fixed income lenders and senior debt providers are naturally risk averse.
Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project. However, there are certain additional considerations in structuring a project finance transaction for an energy storage project.
The traditional approach to energy storage projects has restricted investment because it requires financiers to carry out significant due diligence whenever they fund a scheme – because of this, most energy storage investment has historically been off balance sheet or via specialist funds.
Why securing project finance for energy storage projects is challenging It has traditionally been difficult to secure project finance for energy storage for two key reasons. Firstly, the nascent nature of energy
