6 FAQs about [BESS project financing options in Nigeria 2030]
How can a Bess project help a net-zero future?
Carbon credits earned from BESS projects can be traded in the market at a favourable price. BESS is considered as a “sunshine industry”. Thus, it is important for technology, business, and policy stakeholders to forge a winning partnership to help the global economy leapfrog into a net-zero future.
Is Bess a good investment?
Although risk-taking investors seeking a higher return on their investment in BESS can translate into higher energy tariffs, it is not ideal for large-scale adoption of BESS. Moreover, the capital available with this class of investors is limited compared to this solution's growth potential.
Can Bess projects be bundled together?
Independent BESS projects, only supporting renewable energy projects, can be bundled together, and issued as green bonds to potential large investors.
What is the global Bess capacity in 2023?
As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), global BESS capacity was 85 GW (approximately 190 GWh) at the end of 2023 and is expected to reach 400 GW (over 1,200 GWh) by 2030 to enable the seamless grid integration of renewable energy, with the net zero 2050 emissions scenario as a target.
Is blended financing a viable financial model for Bess projects?
As per McKinsey & Company, the market size of the BESS ecosystem is expected to reach $150 billion by 2030. Thus, blended financing as a financial model should be considered, where public capital can be used as a first-loss capital for BESS projects. This offers private financers the comfort of providing capital at a competitive rate.
How can a Bess adopter generate more revenue?
Another evolving model that can create an additional revenue stream for BESS adopters is the trading of green credits by virtue of facilitating clean energy. This is increasingly relevant as more countries are establishing structured and regulated carbon markets in their jurisdictions as per global best practices.
