Energy Storage

Storage is often key to distributed power generation and supply-side management.  Energy storage systems provide a wide array of technological approaches for a more resilient energy infrastructure (such as for load balancing), for mobile applications such as battery electric vehicles, and can often result in significant cost savings to utilities and consumers.

The Energy Storage Association divides these technologies into six main categories.  Each has the potential for project finance when qualified:

• Fuel Cells (Solid State Batteries) – a range of electrochemical storage solutions, including advanced chemistry batteries and capacitors (e.g., fuel cells)
• Flow Batteries – batteries where the energy is stored directly in the electrolyte solution for longer cycle life, and quick response times
• Mechanical Storage devices such as flywheels harness rotational energy to deliver instantaneous electricity
• Compressed Air Energy Storage – utilizing compressed air to create a potent energy reserve
• Thermal – capturing heat and cold to create energy on demand
• Pumped Hydro-Power – creating large-scale reservoirs of energy with water

Our investors are focused on financing well-supported projects across all asset classes, structures and geographies in each of these areas.
