Financing energy storage - Masterclass by Macqurie focuses on energy markets changes and how they affect corporations:
- Adoption of battery storage
- Typical revenue streams
- Frequency response
- DUoS & TRIADs
- Overlooking UK Capacity Market

Adoption of battery storage
Factors for scalability of battery storage
Apparent Opportunity
• Battery cell prices continue to decline due to the uptake of electric vehicles
• Renewable energy is introducing intermittency onto the grid
• Transmission operators are reducing baseload thermal generation
• Overall power usage is flat or increasing, but price volatility has significantly increased
Battery Opportunities
• Front of the meter : Batteries connected directly to the grid operating for their account
• Colocation: Batteries located alongside existing renewables projects to increase absorption
• Behind the meter: Batteries connected on the site of an end user (domestic or non domestic)
Crystallising the Opportunities
• A battery which is installed behind the meter can generate value through several means:
• Reducing system maintenance costs
• Reducing system balancing costs
• Reducing energy costs for the end user and market participants

Frequency response is used by NG for real time
control of demand & supply
Frequency response is split into two categories
1. Mandatory frequency response – for existing
generators
2. Commercial frequency response – consisting of
FFR & others
At the moment, storage projects are only eligible to
participate in Commercial frequency response
projects
Frequency Response (both Mandatory &
Commercial) can be subdivided into three main
types:
1. Primary response – from 10s to 30s following
loss of 0.8Hz
2. Secondary response – from 30s to 30m – loss
of 0.5Hz
3. High response – 10s onwards – decrease in
generation

NG uses “TRIADS” as a methodology to
calculate transmission charges
DNOs have time based tariffs based on
demand on their system
C&I consumers pay TNUoS & DUoS based
on their consumption pattern
On-Site generation reduces electricity
import thereby reducing overall electricity
costs – including TNUoS & DUoS charges
Additionally the battery provides peak-
shifting capability charging when prices are
low & discharging when high
DUoS & TRIADs
Storage reduces consumption – avoiding DUoS & TNUoS for consumers

15 year contract for new build (3 year
refurbished, 1 year existing)
Under the Capacity Mechanism the plant is free
to provide other balancing services
During the term of the contract the battery may
be called upon to provide capacity service –
giving a notice of 4hours
The results of the 2016 T-4 Capacity Market
Auction are as follows:
— 3.2GW of storage projects were awarded a
capacity market contract
— The Aggregate Bidding Capacity is
52.42GW, 75.13% of the participants
received a capacity agreement for delivery in
2020/21

What is the Service Payment?
The Service Payment covers:
- The fixed cost of operating
and maintaining the battery
- 7 year financing from
Macquarie
The cashflows cover
the Service Payment
and are then shared
From year 10, the
Customer keeps all
the cashflows

Sensitivity to Power Outages
Businesses currently stuck with inefficient back-up
generation
Batteries can enable a business to shift demand
to off-peak periods
Batteries can make a big difference to the
bottom line
Batteries can provide rapid back-up power
during brown outs
GridSecure
GridSecure is a framework between Upside Energy, BYD and Macquarie.
Each party offers a margin reduction in exchange for a savings share.
1) The Service Payment becomes low and affordable for the Customer
2) The Customer and GridSecure both have equity in the project
3) Our trading activities will be transparent to the Customer
