Consumers are demanding more options. Expert commentators like Navigant Research estimate that energy storage will be a US$50 billion global industry by 2020 with an installed capacity of over 21 Gigawatts in 2024. There are many issues to consider when developing and financing energy storage projects, whether on a standalone or integrated basis.
However, there are some unique features to energy storage with which investors and lenders will have to become familiar. Energy storage projects provide a number of services and, for each service, receive a different revenue stream. Distributed energy storage projects offer two main sources of revenue. Capacity payments from the local utility
