ABB's BESS-as-a-Service uses a unique financing model that means there is no up-front capital expenditure required. Today, we are seeing non-recourse project finance for 600+ MW portfolios, mezzanine debt entering the capital stack, and public banks co-financing with private lenders. Merchant Revenues allow operators to capitalize on market opportunities and potentially achieve higher earnings, but they must navigate the inherent risks of market price fluctuations and demand. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are advanced technologies designed to store energy generated from various sources, such as solar and wind, for later use. They operate by charging during periods of surplus electricity generation and discharging during periods of high demand or low generation. Under current law, a standalone BESS project is eligible for a 30-40% federal tax credit, applied to the entire installed cost. This dramatically alters the economics. A system with a $550/kWh installed cost, after a 30% ITC, has an “effective” cost of $385/kWh. Instead, the system is paid for using a predictable subscription plan, allowing you to build it into your ongoing operational expenditure. You can find out more about the financing.
