6 FAQs about [Ghana bess asset]
Why is Barbados partnering with the Bess consortium?
Barbados is committed to playing a leading role in urging concrete deliverables on climate and climate financing. We are here with the BESS Consortium today because we support their efforts to improve access to battery energy storage systems as part of the energy transition in countries like ours.
What is the Bess consortium?
The BESS Consortium is a multi-stakeholder partnership set up to ensure these BESS benefits transform energy systems across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Consortium is on track to meet its target of securing 5 GW of BESS commitments by the end of 2024 and deploying these by the end of 2027.
How complex are Bess assets?
BESS assets are more technically complex than many of the assets that come across the average UK project finance lender’s desk. This nascent market is rapidly adapting to several somewhat unpredictable factors and its impact on both senior debt cover ratios and equity IRRs.
What is Bess & how does it work?
BESS enables the storage of excess variable energy generation, enhancing the grid’s capacity and reliability. BESS are able to store excess energy produced in periods of low demand, which can be discharged into the grid during periods of high demand. BESS operators can therefore receive financial returns for meeting surging energy needs.
Is the Bess market infancy?
The development of the BESS market is still in its relative infancy, compared to more established clean energy markets. As the industry matures, there will undoubtably be challenges along the way.
Will Bess projects have lower replacement costs in 2024?
With the reduction in costs, BESS project operators would be prudent to ensure the replacement costs of their assets are accurately valued for 2024 and declare updated values to their insurers. BESS projects operating for several years may have lower replacement costs in 2024 than they had earlier.
