Downstream energy storage refers to the methods and technologies employed in the final stages of energy distribution, particularly focusing on sustaining energy produced from upstream sources such as
1. Wind, solar, and energy storage projects yield profits by leveraging technological advancements, declining costs, government incentives, market demand, and
What is energy storage in a substation? The energy storage is installed downstream of the power transmission and distribution equipment that originally needs to be upgraded to delay or avoid
Based on the profit margin data of 168 energy storage listed companies in 2017–2021, the main business profit margin average of each link in the value chain is calculated.
The revenue potential of energy storage technologies is often undervalued. Investors could adjust their evaluation approach to get a true estimate.
While energy storage is already being deployed to support grids across major power markets, new McKinsey analysis suggests investors often underestimate the value of energy storage in their business cases.
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).
Evaluating potential revenue streams from flexible assets, such as energy storage systems, is not simple. Investors need to consider the various value pools available to a storage asset, including wholesale, grid services, and capacity markets, as well as the inherent volatility of the prices of each (see sidebar, “Glossary”).
Building upon both strands of work, we propose to characterize business models of energy storage as the combination of an application of storage with the revenue stream earned from the operation and the market role of the investor.
Where a profitable application of energy storage requires saving of costs or deferral of investments, direct mechanisms, such as subsidies and rebates, will be effective. For applications dependent on price arbitrage, the existence and access to variable market prices are essential.
Such complexity means the expected economic returns are often undervalued, especially if shortcuts are taken to simplify the analysis. Adopting a holistic approach that considers all revenue streams across a broad range of external events could improve the outlook of energy storage returns.
