    FAQs about Energy storage system investment projects

    What is energy storage?

    Energy storage encompasses an array of technologies that enable energy produced at one time, such as during daylight or windy hours, to be stored for later use. LPO can finance commercially ready projects across storage technologies, including flywheels, mechanical technologies, electrochemical technologies, thermal storage, and chemical storage.

    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.

    How is energy storage transforming commercial real estate?

    Enel's energy storage solutions are finding applications across a broad spectrum of industries. The partnership with Vicinity Centres in Australia, deploying BESS at shopping centers, exemplifies how commercial real estate is leveraging energy storage to reduce costs and enhance sustainability.

    Should storage projects be funded?

    One large missing piece has been funding. Storage projects are risky investments: high costs, uncertain returns, and a limited track record. Only smart, large-scale, low-cost financing can lower those risks and clear the way for a clean future.

    Why is energy storage important?

    Energy storage serves important grid functions, including time-shifting energy across hours, days, weeks, or months; regulating grid frequency; and ensuring flexibility to balance supply and demand.

    Does Enel invest in energy storage?

    Enel plans to invest €43 billion to strengthen its networks and expand its renewable energy capacity, which includes investments in energy storage. Enel actively cultivates strategic partnerships to advance its energy storage initiatives.
