ERCOT Quick Take: Battery energy storage revenues up 56% from 2023

Battery energy storage revenues in ERCOT are up 56% from this time last year. Between January 1st and May 10th 2024, battery revenues averaged over $26,000/MW.

On Thursday May 30th, Modo Energy will launch its ERCOT Battery Benchmark “nowcast” - as part of our Benchmarking Pro ERCOT products. Subscribers will be able to stay up to date with the latest estimated battery energy storage revenues.

Chris Gillett (Data Scientist) walks you through evolving battery revenues.

This 56% year-on-year increase in revenues is a clear indicator of the increasing volatility and opportunity in Texas's energy market.

  • The top six battery energy storage revenue days of 2024 are higher than any day of revenue during the same period last year.
  • The bottom 41 revenue days of 2024 are lower than any day of revenue during the same period last year.

Basically, BESS revenues are trending lower on most days - but with more frequent spikes than at this time last year.
