battery storage container project financing options in Panama 2030

Why is project finance difficult for energy storage?

It has traditionally been difficult to secure project finance for energy storage for two key reasons. Firstly, the nascent nature of energy storage technology means that fixed income lenders and senior debt providers are naturally risk averse.

Is battery storage a risky investment?

Firstly, the nascent nature of energy storage technology means that fixed income lenders and senior debt providers are naturally risk averse. Battery storage has less of a track record than other renewable energy assets such as solar and wind power.

What are the obstacles to a battery project?

The second, bigger obstacle to the project financing of storage assets is that the revenue stack for batteries is more complicated than for generating assets. Unlike wind and solar projects, battery projects are not generating electricity. Rather, they provide a service and act as arbitrage assets.

Are battery projects generating electricity?

Unlike wind and solar projects, battery projects are not generating electricity. Rather, they provide a service and act as arbitrage assets. With a battery storage asset, electricity is bought and sold at different times of day to make money by storing electricity when prices are low and discharging it when prices are high.

Plus, the new Renewable Storage Act offers 12% tax credits for projects exceeding 50MWh capacity. As we approach Q4, industry watchers predict Panama could become a Central American storage hub. Their strategic position allows maritime export of pre-charged battery containers to Caribbean islands.
