Capturing the best opportunities for distributed energy storage

philippa hardy

"Distributed energy storage is establishing itself in many markets – in homes, businesses and in-front of the meter.

More value streams are opening up, electricity systems are decentralising, and technology costs continue to fall.

The market today is growing fast, but from a small base. Different companies are adopting different positions and approaches to the market, with a variety of business models emerging.

Identifying, understanding and acting on the best opportunities is critical to securing a slice of the fast-growing distributed energy storage market."

C&I Energy Storage: Drivers and Barriers

Already a small market, the business case for commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage in key European markets has stalled over the past year. The key driver remains the cost of energy for C&I businesses, but there are several barriers to successful projects. These barriers relate to the suitability of an individual customer site to storage, issues around customer engagement with energy and the regulatory environment in which storage systems operate.
