In this article we consider the role and application of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in supporting renewable energy power generation and transmission systems and some of the challenges posed in seeking to project finance BESS assets. Large scale deployment of this technology is hampered by perceived financial risks and lack of secured financial models. Innovative financial models can encourage both project developers and. . Large scale energy projects integrating battery storage require significant capital. While equity investors bring cash and risk appetite, debt typically funds 50-75% of project costs. Global energy storage capacity additions exceeded 15 GW in 2024, with lithium-ion battery costs declining 90% over the past decade to. . In this context, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are consolidating their role as a key technological solution for ensuring a stable electricity supply, optimising the use of clean energy sources, and accelerating global decarbonisation.
