Does project finance apply to energy storage projects?
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.
Can a solar investment tax credit be applied to a stand-alone energy project?
The development of an investment tax credit for stand-alone energy projects continues to be a goal of the industry. Experience has shown energy storage system to be covered under the Solar ITC, but only as a supporting piece of equipment, and precluding the use of the true potential of the energy storage asset.

Are energy storage projects different than power industry project finance?
Most groups involved with project development usually agree that energy storage projects are not necessarily different than a typical power industry project finance transaction, especially with regards to risk allocation.
Will a tax credit be available for energy storage projects?
However, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of , 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.
