The Economics of Battery Energy Storage: Insights from Rocky Mountain Institute
battery energy storage systems (BESS) are doing for electricity what Netflix did for video rentals. The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) has been crunching the numbers, and their findings reveal a financial revolution happening right in our substations. In 2023 alone, global battery storage capacity surged past 42 GW - enough to power 10 million homes during peak demand. But what's really sparking investor interest? The dollars and cents behind those megawatt-hours.
