Storage changes the economics of utility-scale solar but introduces operational and financial complexity. In a system constrained by grid capacity and intermittent generation, storage can enhance revenue, stabilize the grid, and optimize project outcomes. This session explores the strategic and operational choices developers must make to maximize value.
- How storage can alleviate local grid constraints and enhance project economics.
- How storage strategies are evolving in response to rising curtailment costs, negative pricing events, and locational market volatility.
- Operational strategies for storage dispatch, reliability, and revenue stacking.
- Coordination requirements between developers, network operators, and investors to ensure storage assets deliver maximum system and commercial value.
