Description

Electricity storage sits at the heart of the global shift to clean energy, enabling flexibility, reliability and the integration of renewables into the grid. Falling technology costs, ambitious climate targets and surging investment have made storage one of the most dynamic sectors in energy today, even as the legal and regulatory frameworks around it continue to evolve. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the commercial, regulatory and financing issues shaping storage projects worldwide.

Key Features

Combines specialist chapters on revenue models, construction, and equity and debt financing with detailed country-by-country analysis across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa; written by leading practitioners across each jurisdiction covered; equips lawyers, developers, investors and lenders with the insights needed to navigate a fast-changing market.

Coverage

Revenue models for storage projects; construction; equity financing; debt financing; and jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction analysis covering Africa, Australia, Brazil, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Middle East, Poland, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the CAISO market.

Three applications stand out for practitioners: structuring revenue and financing models for storage projects, using the dedicated chapters on equity and debt financing alongside real transaction structures; cross-border project development, comparing regulatory treatment of storage across the twelve-plus jurisdictions covered before entering a new market; and advising investors and lenders, using the country analyses to assess regulatory risk before committing capital to a storage project.

Why buy this book?

Electricity storage is moving faster than the legal literature covering it — most resources on the energy transition treat storage as a footnote to renewables rather than a sector in its own right. This is a dedicated, practitioner-written guide spanning revenue, financing and regulation across more than a dozen jurisdictions in one volume, saving lawyers, developers and investors the work of piecing together country-specific advice from scattered sources.
