The project investment in all the studied energy storage systems is demonstrated viable to both project sponsors and lenders since the IRRs of the project for all systems in their last year of operation are larger than the projected WACC and the IRR of equity in their maturity year are better than the return on equity. 5. Financial analysis
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.
Financial and economic modeling are undertaken based on the data and assumptions presented in Table 1. Table 1. Project stakeholder interests in KPIs. To determine the economic feasibility of the energy storage project, the model outputs two types of KPIs: economic and financial KPIs.
The sales generated by the project are referred to as revenue. The revenues for an energy storage system performing energy arbitrage service are the product of the agreed energy price with the net discharged power.
However, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, tax credits are now available for standalone energy storage systems, and thus lenders may be willing to provide bridge capital that is underwritten based on the receipt of proceeds from an anticipated tax equity investment, similar to renewable energy projects.
