6 FAQs about [Low value energy storage investment]
Do investors underestimate the value of energy storage?
While energy storage is already being deployed to support grids across major power markets, new McKinsey analysis suggests investors often underestimate the value of energy storage in their business cases.
Are energy storage technologies the key to reducing energy costs?
Energy storage technologies are also the key to lowering energy costs and integrating more renewable power into our grids, fast. If we can get this right, we can hold on to ever-rising quantities of renewable energy we are already harnessing – from our skies, our seas, and the earth itself. The gap to fill is very wide indeed.
Should energy storage be undervalued?
The revenue potential of energy storage is often undervalued. Investors could adjust their evaluation approach to get a true estimate—improving profitability and supporting sustainability goals.
Why is energy storage more expensive than alternative technologies?
High capital cost and low energy density make the unit cost of energy stored ($/kWh) more expensive than alternatives technologies. Long duration energy storage traditionally favors technologies with low self-discharge that cost less per unit of energy stored.
Are existing energy storage solutions too slow?

Why is energy storage important?
Storage is indispensable to the green energy revolution. The most abundant sources of renewable energy today are only intermittently available and need a steady, stored supply to smooth out these fluctuations. Energy storage technologies are also the key to lowering energy costs and integrating more renewable power into our grids, fast.
