RISK MITIGATION, QUALITY ASSURANCE AND BANKABILITY
Summary
Before energy storage systems
(ESS) can be adopted in the
mass market, several
questions arise from various
stakeholders such as project
developers, the financial
sector, and the insurance
sector. The questions that will
be tackled in this session are:
How are ESS projects currently
being financed and what are
the current views on ESS
project bankability? What are
some interesting innovative
business and financing models
for ESS projects? What are the
challenges for financial
stakeholders in evaluating
ESS, such as determining
quality, and how can these be
addressed? What are the risks
for these projects, and what
are the options for mitigating
these risks?
