Energy storage project cooperation investment

How can energy storage help the global power sector?

The global power sector is undergoing a major transformation and it necessitates energy storage as a pivotal player to create a resilient and stable grid. Driving a partnership model to advocate conversations around energy storage will provide the requisite thrust to come out with implementable and ground-breaking solutions.

How can a large-scale energy storage project be financed?

Creative finance strategies and financial incentives are required to reduce the high upfront costs associated with LDES projects. Large-scale project funding can come from public-private partnerships, green bonds, and specialized energy storage investment funds.

Should energy storage projects be financed by structural finance?
