The user-side energy storage investment under subsidy policy
The government tries to encourage the firms to invest immediately by providing subsidies to this irreversible investment. The subsidy policy, however, can be activated or
To effectively guarantee its grid stability of renewable energy sources, the Chinese government is expected to keep implementing its policy incentives for energy storage in the near future. This particular dataset provides us with the technical specifications of an energy storage system and allows us to calculate the model parameters.
The threshold decreases as the expectation of the subsidy removal policy increases during the implementation stage for a given policy intensity. This indicates that under current favorable policy situation, the firms' willingness to invest now increases as the expectation of subsidy removal policy increases. Fig. 2.
The subsidy policy, however, can be activated or terminated at an uncertain time and therefore, the firms face additional policy uncertainty when making the decision. We derive the investment thresholds of the market spread that the firms use to make a decision on investing immediately or holding an option.
The introduction of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) by the United States has presented new opportunities for the user-side energy storage firms by providing incentives such as the investment tax credits (ITC) for clean energy projects ( ).
