Investors generally view battery additions to RES projects as beneficial as, despite ongoing RES sector ambiguities, these upgrades ensure greater IRR figures, market officials have told energypress.

Market players are now working on taking crucial sustainability-related decisions concerning battery additions to RES projects ahead of forthcoming auctions and as a result of increased grid-injection limits being imposed in the market.

Investors, in collaboration with consulting companies, are engaging in calculations to assess the revenues resulting from integrating batteries into RES projects. This process includes identifying various factors that impact revenues and determining the extent of their influence.

RES investors are also making an effort to establish more specific information on variable costs that may arise, even though the sector’s regulatory framework is not yet entirely clear and concrete.

In conducting their calculations, investors are assuming that RES units will, from now onwards, operate under conditions of greater grid-injection restrictions and production cuts.
