Customer ServiceThe rapid growth in the energy storage market is similarly driving demand for project financing. The general principles of project finance that apply to the financing of solar and wind projects also apply to energy storage projects.
Since the majority of solar projects currently under construction include a storage system, lenders in the project finance markets are willing to finance the construction and cashflows of an energy storage project. However, there are certain additional considerations in structuring a project finance transaction for an energy storage project.
However, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, tax credits are now available for standalone energy storage systems, and thus lenders may be willing to provide bridge capital that is underwritten based on the receipt of proceeds from an anticipated tax equity investment, similar to renewable energy projects.

Past editions of WEI have noted that 90% of energy investments are financed on a primary basis from the balance sheets of companies and consumers, with a smaller role for project finance (mostly loans from banks).
Most such installations are financed from the balance sheets of consumers and companies, often supplemented by loans, or through equipment leases and PPAs, where third parties (e.g. energy service companies [ESCOs], see below) install and retain ownership of the asset.
