Therefore, energy storage as a service (ESaaS) is becoming a key service model which combines an advanced energy storage system, an energy management system, and a service contract that deliver value to a business by providing steady power more economically. With energy storage deals previously avoided by investors due to the complexity surrounding cash flow, ESaaS is a promising development that has the potential to attract financing and further grows the industry.From autonomy to dependability, energy storage as a service is built upon the promise of battery storage with ingenuity and innovation. With energy storage dominating solar discussion online, it is almost certain that solar-plus-storage will continue to flourish within the solar market. This means that innovative approaches, such as storage as a service model, will be more in demand than ever before. Since energy storage is a relatively new and unique technology that does not readily comply with established regulatory regimes, many states will need to make changes to their regulations to take proper advantage of the many services that storage can provide. Finally, it has become increasingly common, if not the new normal to ascertain energy storage on the agenda or the expo floor of major solar and e-mobility conferences. That exposure reflects a shift in the industry as storage increasingly intersects and integrates the two verticals only accelerated by growing public concerns for the environmental and financial instability of costly fossil fuel resources.Let us know your thoughts!Charlotte SmithManaging Editoreditor@energytechreview.comESaaS: The Future *Some of the Insights are based on the interviews with respective CIOs and CXOs to our editorial staffEditorial StaffAaron Pierce Ava GarciaVian IsaacJoshua Parker Kenny Peruzzi
