ENERGY STORAGE PROCUREMENT RFP BEST
This comprehensive program covers various aspects of energy storage procurement and strategies specifically tailored to the electric power industry.
For standalone energy storage contracts, these are typically structured with a fixed monthly capacity payment plus some variable cost per megawatt hour (MWh) of throughput. For a combined renewables-plus-storage project, it may be structured with an energy-only price in lieu of a fixed monthly capacity payment.
Key Finance-ability Provisions: Energy storage resources may also be financed on a nonrecourse basis and, like any other project financed in such manner, will need to address issues upon which nonrecourse lenders will focus, including assignment, events of default, performance requirements, key dates, and collateral.
While total 2022 installations have not yet been reported, utility-scale storage installations in the second quarter were the largest quarter on record with 1,170 MW installed, despite significant delays in the market.
For such a customer, an energy storage project may allow the customer to reduce its peak demand periods, and thus the associated demand charges, by reducing grid power consumption during its peak periods (so-called “peak shaving”).
