Battery Energy Storage Systems (“BESS”) have become more and more a part of the advancement and enhancement in infrastructure and energy investment strategies, not to mention a mission critical component for value creation in the energy transition, and they provide much-needed stabilization for the grid, typically at a reduced investment compared to building new large scale infrastructure in many areas. This is a “bigger is not always better” scenario. I am a firm believer, borne out by a lot of experience, that the solutions for the “energy transition” are many-fold, and a little bit of everything will be needed. With that in mind, if you wanted to make a single bet as to where an incredible amount of value will be created in the coming years, I would argue that behind-the-meter as well as smaller scale distributed grid-side BESS would be it. This is a spot where every side of the value chain benefits, provides true value (not just financial engineering or deal structuring), where you’ll see continued regulatory and legislative enhancement to support it, continued and new tax incentives at the state and local level, utility programs to encourage it, more new well-paid jobs being created, technology improvements both in equipment and software, and so much more. This short primer on behind-the-meter (BTM) BESS is a good and simple read as to how it all works and where some of the opportunities are to create value with a BESS system. I look forward to continuing to support cutting edge businesses and sponsors in the deployment of these vital assets and evolving business models! #bess #btm #batteries #energytransition #infrastructure #gridstorage #energystorage #infrastructureinvestment #DERs #renewableenergy #gridstabilization #batteryenergystoragesystems #investment #vpp #virtualpowerplants #itc #stateincentives https://lnkd.in/emwzSQ8w
