Battery storage has less of a track record than other renewable energy assets such as solar and wind power. The lack of comfort on the part of lenders has meant that the project financing packages available have been generally unappealing, with low gearing and onerous covenants.
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.
Lenders have been willing to lend to renewable assets against a guaranteed fixed revenue stream. This may take the form of a contract for difference, or some other sort of government-backed incentive, or a power purchase agreement with a bankable and creditworthy counterparty.
The second, bigger obstacle to the project financing of storage assets is that the revenue stack for batteries is more complicated than for generating assets. Unlike wind and solar projects, battery projects are not generating electricity. Rather, they provide a service and act as arbitrage assets.
