How much money can a storage power purchase agreement generate?

For high-price scenarios, storage PPAs can generate 180 MEUR/year in 2030 in Europe We propose a contractual setup, the proxy storage power purchase agreement (PPA), to foster the deployment of energy storage technologies. We define a threshold price below which the PPA becomes financially attractive for PPA buyers.

What is a proxy storage power purchase agreement (PPA)?

We propose a contractual setup, the proxy storage power purchase agreement (PPA), to foster the deployment of energy storage technologies. We define a threshold price below which the PPA becomes financially attractive for PPA buyers. We compute the threshold price for several storage technologies and configurations, in seven European countries.

How are energy contracts similar to proxy storage PPAs?

Energy contracts are similar to proxy storage PPAs because they are only based on day-ahead market revenues and the seller is responsible for the operation of the storage asset. However, the revenues of energy contracts are based on the actual operation of the asset and perfect foresight does not apply.

Is a national electricity market attractive for proxy storage PPAs?

A national electricity market is attractive for proxy storage PPAs, if threshold prices are high and if the country offers a regulatory situation that fosters energy storage. We use the installed and announced energy storage capacities as a proxy for the markets attractiveness toward energy storage.

How do energy storage contracts work?

For standalone energy storage contracts, these are typically structured with a fixed monthly capacity payment plus some variable cost per megawatt hour (MWh) of throughput. For a combined renewables-plus-storage project, it may be structured with an energy-only price in lieu of a fixed monthly capacity payment.

How profitable are energy storage PPAs in Europe?

Novel contractual setup for power purchase agreements (PPAs) with energy storage Calculation of PPA threshold price defining profitable cases for buyers in Europe The UK and Germany are the most promising European markets for storage PPAs For high-price scenarios, storage PPAs can generate 180 MEUR/year in 2030 in Europe
