Resource Description

This paper explores how governments can unlock investment in utility-scale energy storage through effective policy design. A central feature is a flexible, data-driven financial model that allows policymakers and investors to assess how different policy choices impact the profitability, emissions outcomes, and fiscal implications of battery storage projects.

Why This Matters

The tool helps governments shape policy environments that support scalable, low-carbon energy storage solutions.
