Do investors underestimate the value of energy storage?
While energy storage is already being deployed to support grids across major power markets, new McKinsey analysis suggests investors often underestimate the value of energy storage in their business cases.
How do I evaluate potential revenue streams from energy storage assets?
Evaluating potential revenue streams from flexible assets, such as energy storage systems, is not simple. Investors need to consider the various value pools available to a storage asset, including wholesale, grid services, and capacity markets, as well as the inherent volatility of the prices of each (see sidebar, “Glossary”).
How can thermal energy storage solve the rising energy demand?
The rising energy demand can be met by increasing the share of renewable energy by overcoming the barriers of poor conversion efficiency, intermittent energy supply, and lower thermo-economic viability. Thermal energy storage technology can play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges.
