Battery storage at US$20/MWh? Breaking down low
Hence, the ratio of total energy remunerated over energy discharged from storage, 3.9, needs to be multiplied with the storage adder to calculate the actual remuneration for energy discharged from the storage system. That results in an "adjusted adder" per energy from the energy storage system of US$20 USD/MWh * 3.9 = US$78 /MWh.
