Debt financing in the US' BESS space has crossed $4bn YTD 2024 and is closing in on last year’s mark of $4.5bn. The sustained momentum is driven by:
Growing Demand for Ancillary Services: With the ongoing rise in solar and wind capacity, the need for battery storage to provide ancillary grid services remains critical.
Strategic Energy Arbitrage: Developers continue to capitalize on BESS to store energy at low prices and sell it when prices peak, ensuring maximum profits.
Attractive Incentives: ITCs for stand-alone storage continue to draw both domestic and foreign investors.
Key Markets: Texas and California continue to dominate, accounting for over 50% of the raised capital.
