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.
However, energy storage project development does bring with it a greater number of moving parts to the projects, so developers must consider storage’s unique technology, policy and regulatory mandates, and market issues—as they exist now, and as the market continues to evolve.
Developing an operation program for energy storage assets will encompass a number of components. A central components will be a centralized Network Operating Center (NOC) that provides insights leveraging the energy management system that is used to manage and control the different assets in the portfolio.

Energy storage projects and policies can be searched in through basic and advanced selection criteria, including via interactive data visualizations.
The development of an investment tax credit for stand-alone energy projects continues to be a goal of the industry. Experience has shown energy storage system to be covered under the Solar ITC, but only as a supporting piece of equipment, and precluding the use of the true potential of the energy storage asset.
Valuation Models A critical role for the U.S. Department of Energy to improve the understanding of energy storage project and portfolio valuation is to continue to develop and make publicly available valuation models that serve the upcoming need of new and innovative roles in the energy storage market.
