Energy Storage Projects: a global overview of trends and
There are many issues to consider when developing and financing energy storage projects, whether on a standalone or integrated basis. We have highlighted some of key regulatory considerations and trends we believe utilities, developers and financiers should take into account in assessing energy storage projects.

By our estimates, an additional $242 billion in generation, storage and transmission investment is needed to deliver the Step Change scenario in the ISP. To be clear, that''s $242 billion above current commitments. Storage accounts for about a quarter of this figure, requiring an additional $64 billion investment.
Financing energy storage projects: assessing risks
In part one of this article, we discussed the types of energy storage and the incentives that are supporting its development. Now let''s look at the financing issues and the project risks associated with energy storage today.
