Our analysis is directed mostly at developments in Europe and the United States the evolution of storage could and probably will take a different course in other markets. In this article we consider, as these trends play out, how storage could transform the operations of grids and power markets, the ways that customers consume and produce power, and the roles of utilities and third parties.
#The power hour new generator#
Eventually, combining solar with storage and a small electrical generator (known as full grid defection) will make economic sense-in a matter of years, not decades, for some customers in high-cost markets. We believe these markets will continue to expand, creating a significant challenge for utilities faced with flat or declining customer demand. providing power-quality services, and supporting renewables integration.įurther, given regulatory changes to pare back incentives for solar in many markets, the idea of combining solar with storage to enable households to make and consume their own power on demand, instead of exporting power to the grid, is beginning to be an attractive opportunity for customers (sometimes referred to as partial grid defection). Examples include using storage as replacement capacity after the Aliso Canyon shutdown in Southern California, as well as storage participating in a tender for capacity in Australia and in capacity-market auctions in the United States. At today’s lower prices, storage is starting to play a broader role in energy markets, moving from niche uses such as grid balancing to broader ones such as replacing conventional power generators for reliability, 1 1.
