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).
Figure 1 depicts 28 distinct business models for energy storage technologies that we identify based on the combination of the three parameters described above. Each business model, represented by a box in Fig- ure 1, applies storage to solve a particular problem and to generate a distinct revenue stream for a specific market role.
The main finding is that examined business models for energy storage given in the set of technologies are largely found to be unprofitable or ambiguous.
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).
profitability of energy storage. eagerly requests technologies providing flexibility. Energy storage can provide such flexibility and is attract ing increasing attention in terms of growing deployment and policy support. Profitability profitability of individual opportunities are contradicting. models for investment in energy storage.
