Utilities can strategically deploy energy storage solutions to absorb surplus energy and release it during high-demand periods. This allows them to optimize power generation and maintain service reliability,
Business Models for Energy Storage Rows display market roles, columns reflect types of revenue streams, and boxes specify the business model around an application. Each of the three parameters is useful to systematically differentiate investment opportunities for energy storage in terms of applicable business models.
Although academic analysis finds that business models for energy storage are largely unprofitable, annual deployment of storage capacity is globally on the rise (IEA, 2020). One reason may be generous subsidy support and non-financial drivers like a first-mover advantage (Wood Mackenzie, 2019).
This model enables businesses to store excess renewable energy during low-demand periods and discharge it during peak demand, optimizing energy consumption and reducing exposure to volatile energy prices. Key components of the energy storage + PPA model include:
The business model Voltage control can apply to production, T&D, or consumption (Akhil et al., 2013), where the investment in energy storage would save the investment in a voltage regulator.
Key regulatory drivers, such as the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III), are fostering corporate PPA adoption and supporting energy storage investments. These policies are expected to accelerate the adoption of energy storage + PPA models across Europe.
We propose to characterize a “business model” for storage by three parameters: the application of a storage facility, the market role of a potential investor, and the revenue stream obtained from its operation (Massa et al., 2017).
