6 FAQs about Four large-scale energy storage business models

What are business models for energy storage?

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.

Are energy storage business models the future?

The lessons from twelve case studies on energy storage business models give a glimpse of the future and show what players can do today. The advent of new energy storage business models will affect all players in the energy value chain. In this publication we offer some recommendations.

How will new energy storage business models affect the energy value chain?

The advent of new energy storage business models will affect all players in the energy value chain. In this publication we offer some recommendations. The new business models in energy storage may not have crystallized yet. But the first outlines are becoming clear. Now is the time to experiment, gain experience and build partnerships.

What is a business model for storage?

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).

Investors can pursue multiple business models with a single storage capacity if market regulation permits.

What are the different types of energy storage technologies?

We focus on a set of common and commercially available technologies for energy storage (see Table S1 for details). These technologies convert electrical energy to various forms of storable energy. For mechanical storage, we focus on flywheels, pumped hydro, and compressed air energy storage (CAES). Thermal storage refers to molten salt technology.
