4 FAQs about [VRFB energy storage project financing options in Estonia 2026]
How much money has Estonia provided for energy storage projects?
A state agency in Estonia has provided €5.2 million (US$5.7 million) in grants for 10 energy storage projects, including a 4MW/8MWh battery storage project from utility Eesti Energia. The state-funded Environmental Investment Centre announced the grant funding for the ten projects being developed by six companies today (28 June).
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.
Will a tax credit be available for energy storage projects?
However, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, 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.
Should a project company establish O&M reserves?
To the extent that there are project degradation issues or other anticipated major maintenance costs such as the augmentation of battery systems, lenders may require the project company to establish O&M reserves to ensure sufficient funds will be on hand to cover these maintenance costs.
