Atlanta, GA, June 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScottMadden, Inc., one of North America’s leading energy consulting firms, has released its latest edition of The Energy Industry Update (EIU). Themed “Recalibration,” this report focuses on the strategic drivers propelling our industry, including the growing interest in energy storage.
As energy storage, especially battery storage, continues to see market gains, adoption of the technology is growing. But what are the complexities of introducing battery storage into the marketplace? Why is pricing energy storage so challenging and what effect does it have on energy storage procurement? How do energy storage ownership models impact adoption? Is benefit stacking really necessary for energy storage to be cost effective? This Update seeks to address these questions and more.
“In storage, the tide is turning,” says Kevin Hernandez, director at ScottMadden. “Opening markets and improving economics are shifting attention to what it takes to implement storage projects. This includes addressing questions around best practices in procurement, business models, and owning and operating energy storage assets. As state commissions and legislatures continue to advance storage policy at the state level and FERC drives storage participation in wholesale markets, we are nearing a long-awaited inflection point for storage. Now, we need to focus on what will be required to implement these policies.”
