Co-located battery storage’s ability to help mitigate risk and counter renewable yield compression has been hailed as a “fantastic opportunity” by renewables investor Bluefield Partners’ investment director Jan Libicek.
Speaking on a panel at this week’s Energy Storage Summit 2021, Libicek said that when it comes to financing, energy storage remained “firstly a question of confidence”, but deemed that the finance community can no longer ignore the potential of energy storage assets and in particular, co-located sites.
