Capital Costs The capital cost of an energy storage system is the total value of all of the initial equipment purchased for the project. This is derived from adding the cost of all of the subassemblies and components needed to construct the final version of the product, many times described internally as a Bill of Material (BOM).
Energy Storage Pricing Survey & Energy Storage Financing Study Series The Energy Storage Pricing Survey series provides the energy storage industry with a standardized system cost benchmark for energy storage systems of a range of system power and energy ratings so customers can compare prices of different technologies at different system scales.
They are priced according to five different power ratings to provide a relevant system comparison and a more precise estimate. The power rating of an energy storage system impacts system pricing, where larger systems are typically lower in cost (on a $/kWh basis) than smaller ones due to volume purchasing, etc.
12 PORTFOLIO VALUATION Developing a portfolio of assets can be seen as the inevitable evolution for energy storage project developers and private equity investors who are interested in leveraging their knowledge of the technology, expertise in project development, and access to capital.
This is understandable as energy storage technologies possess a number of inter-related cost, performance, and operating characteristics that and impart feed-back to impacts to the other project aspects. However, this complexity is the heart of the value potential for energy storage systems.
The goal is to reduce barriers of entry, reduce transaction costs, and promote wider access to low cost capital in order to accelerate energy storage project development.
