Augmentation: In the context of energy storage, "augmentation" refers to the process of adding storage capacity to a project over time and
Energy storage maximizes the benefits of solar buyback programs by storing surplus energy for later use, enabling strategic energy exports during peak pricing periods, and reducing grid
The capacity of battery storage systems is expressed in both power (kW) and energy (kWh) terms. System costs may also be expressed in power, energy, or a hybrid manner.
Augmentation: In the context of energy storage, "augmentation" refers to the process of adding storage capacity to a project over time and is typically seen in the context of

er PPAs voluntarily to meet their internal sustainability goals. Since the beginning of 2021, corporates have procured over 55 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy through PPAs, which
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
For standalone energy storage contracts, these are typically structured with a fixed monthly capacity payment plus some variable cost per megawatt hour (MWh) of throughput. For a combined renewables-plus-storage project, it may be structured with an energy-only price in lieu of a fixed monthly capacity payment.
For such a customer, an energy storage project may allow the customer to reduce its peak demand periods, and thus the associated demand charges, by reducing grid power consumption during its peak periods (so-called “peak shaving”).
Key Finance-ability Provisions: Energy storage resources may also be financed on a nonrecourse basis and, like any other project financed in such manner, will need to address issues upon which nonrecourse lenders will focus, including assignment, events of default, performance requirements, key dates, and collateral.
In California, utility-scale battery storage projects are eligible for resource adequacy attributes. Battery storage contracts (whether for standalone storage projects or solar or wind projects paired with storage) typically include a fixed-price payment for resource adequacy attributes.
