What is energy storage as a service?

Under energy-storage-as-a-service business models, developers or utilities own and operate BTM BESS in exchange for paying the upfront costs of the storage system.

Are customers more inter-Ested in energy storage?

Customers may ultimately be less inter-ested in ownership of an energy storage system than accessing the services that energy storage can provide to them (such as backup power).
