This report comes to you at the turning of the tide for energy storage: after two years of rising prices and supply chain disruptions, the energy storage industry is starting to see price declines and much-anticipated supply growth, thanks in large part to tax credits available via the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) and a drop in the price of lithium …

In other words, when the price is fixed, if the net present value of the energy storage investment is negative, there will be no installed energy storage capacity. And if the net present value is positive, it may lead to excessive capacity of energy storage and make the load distribution more unbalanced.

The Impact of Wind and Solar on the Value of Energy Storage. The purpose of this analysis is to examine how the value proposition for energy storage changes as a function of wind and solar power penetration. It uses a grid modeling approach comparing the operational costs of an electric power system both with and without added storage.

Assuming a 30-year financial life of the asset, results show that the first 10 GW of 10-h duration storage avoids USD 103–257 per installed kWh (depending on emissions limit) in generation costs. The marginal value of storage declines to USD 80–160/kWh at 20 GW installed capacity and USD 91–112/kWh at 30 GW. 7.

The storage NPV in terms of kWh has to factor in degradation, round-trip efficiency, lifetime, and all the non-ideal factors of the battery. The combination of these factors is simply the storage discount rate. The financial NPV in financial terms has to include the storage NPV, inflation, rising energy prices, and cost of debt.
