Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can help address the challenge of intermittent renewable energy. Large scale deployment of this technology is hampered by perceived financial risks and lack of secured financial models. Innovative financial models can encourage both project developers and users, resulting in widespread adoption of BESS.

By the beginning of 2023 the price of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, had fallen by about 89% since 2010. This reduction is attributed to advancements in technology
Energy storage technologies will enable this market transformation, as reflected by an impressive market growth outlook. Between 2020 and 2035, energy storage installations are forecast to grow over 27 times (see above graph), attracting close to $400 billion in investment. (BNEF, Energy Storage Outlook 2019).
We are aiming to develop 5 to 7 gigawatts (GW) of gross electricity storage capacity worldwide by 2030, thanks in particular to battery-based energy storage systems. To achieve this ambition, we are harnessing the technological expertise of our affiliate Saft. Learn more about our achievements and projects in this field.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will have a CAGR of 30 percent, and the GWh required to power these applications in 2030 will be comparable to the GWh needed for all applications today. China could account for 45 percent of total Li-ion demand in 2025 and 40 percent in 2030—most battery-chain segments are already mature in that country.

There are three major players in the global race to secure the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain: China and the US, followed by the EU. According to data from Energy Monitor''s parent company, GlobalData, the US
As part of the Biden-Harris Administration''s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO) announced today the closing
Base year costs for utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are based on a bottom-up cost model using the data and methodology for utility-scale BESS in (Ramasamy et al., 2023). The bottom-up BESS model accounts for major components, including the LIB pack, the inverter, and the balance of system (BOS) needed for the installation. Using the detailed NREL cost
And yet, despite the overwhelmingly urgent need for energy storage around the world, the application of project finance mechanisms to battery energy storage projects has been patchy to date. This report analyses the barriers to obtaining project finance for BESS projects, as well as highlighting the lessons that can be learnt from early BESS project finance success stories.
According to GlobalData, the vast majority (72%) of investment in IRA-linked projects has gone towards developing Li-ion batteries. Total battery manufacturing construction projects in North, Central and South America, are
The Vistra BESS project is one of the four battery energy storage projects that PG&E had selected for development within the South Bay-Moss Landing local sub-area. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) had authorised PG&E to hold competitive solicitation for energy storage projects in Pease, Bogue, and South Bay-Moss Landing local
According to GlobalData, the vast majority (72%) of investment in IRA-linked projects has gone towards developing Li-ion batteries. Total battery manufacturing construction projects in North, Central and South America, are currently worth $117.9bn, with the majority (50.2%) of projects by value still in the planning stage.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) store electricity and flexibly dispatch it on the grid. They can stack revenue streams offering arbitrage, capacity and ancillary services under regulated frameworks, long-term offtake agreements and merchant schemes. Arbitrage Increases Cash

In May 2023, we launched our largest European battery-based energy storage project at the Antwerp platform in Belgium. With its 40 containers, the site will develop a capacity of 75 MWh, which is equivalent to the daily consumption of almost 10,000 homes.
The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects. 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.
But a 2022 analysis by the McKinsey Battery Insights team projects that the entire lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30 percent annually from 2022 to 2030, when it would reach a value of more than $400 billion and a market size of 4.7 TWh. 1
In April 2024, we announced the launch of a new battery-based project in the country, at our depot in Feluy, with a start-up expected at the end of 2025.
