FOUR SCENARIOS FOR TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION IN NEW SOUTH WALES (REAL 2014) See: Australian end-user storage: behind the battery pack, Research Note, 19 November 2014 Note: This assumes a 5kW PV system, a battery nameplate capacity of 5kWh with a depth of discharge of 80% and a battery lifetime of 20 years. Solar CAPEX includes federal STC incentive. Both PV and storage O&M costs = 1%of capex per year. PV capacity factor = 16.3%. Battery efficiency = 85%. PV lifetime = 25 years. Discount rate of 5% (real) applied to NPV calculation. Assumes electricity prices remain constant in real terms (i.e. increase in line with inflation). Simple payback period is the capital cost of the system divided by the first year cashflows. System payback is the year in which cumulative cashflows from the investment become positive Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance 6

RECIPE FOR A SUCCESSFUL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION SUPPLY-CHAIN Vying set of suitable technologies Broad swath of concurrent applications No clear dominant market player Mixture of old and new Dominant technology is continually developed (does not come out of nowhere) Ability to scale product Not regional or market specific Technology must be accessible to new entrants Sufficient scale and return to attract diversified manufacturers Ability to scale resource or process by piggy-backing off other industry Low embedded commodity value Distributed technologies encourage greater competition through market fragmentation Often the dullest technologies are most scalable 10

SUMMARY OF DRIVERS AND BARRIERS OF END- USER ENERGY STORAGE ECONOMICS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES POLICY AND REGULATION The capital cost of the storage system remains the major barrier to deployment Lithium-ion systems offer great promise through future reductions Solar PV is already very affordable and set to become cheaper Energy tariffs are high by global standards and are likely to increase modestly Australia s end-user storage industry is less established than in Europe Most offers have been adapted from off-grid applications Some integrated Li-ion systems are available in the Australian market, but are difficult to source Li-ion is likely to emerge as the technology of choice Difficult economics may support third-party finance models The regulatory environment is generally conducive of supporting PV + energy storage Expiring feed-in tariffs may support a retrofit market in those states Long feed-in tariff contracts and energy buy-back schemes may impede uptake Tariff reform may dilute the benefits of being less reliant on the grid Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance 22
DEMAND SIDE TECHNOLOGIES ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT What technology will have the greatest impact on the electricity system in 2025? Grid-scale wind power Something else Electric vehicles 1% 9% 3% Demand-side management 17% 42% Distribution gridconnected PV Grid-connected energy storage 28% Comment: The top three choices are all within the distribution network, and could be highly integrated with each other.
