Energy Storage as a Service (ESaaS) Market
Executive Summary
6.9 USD Billion in 2025, the Energy Storage as a Service (ESaaS) Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.33% to reach 40.4 USD Billion by 2035.
Growth is anchored in regulatory reform that lets storage assets stack revenue across markets. The EU’s Regulation (EU) 2024/1747 creates Non-Fossil Flexibility Support Schemes covering storage, while India’s Viability Gap Funding scheme, expanded in June 2025, extends contracted tenors to 12-15 years and underwrites 30 GWh of standalone battery capacity.
Asia Pacific held 33.0% of the market in 2025, the largest of any region tracked. Utilities accounted for 45.3% of end-user demand, the leading segment, procuring storage through service contracts rather than direct capital expenditure.
Grid interconnection queues and permitting delays remain the principal constraint on commissioning timelines. Providers compete chiefly on contract tenor and the breadth of energy-only, capacity-only and full-service offerings rather than on a single dominant format.

Market Definition and Scope
The Energy Storage as a Service (ESaaS) Market covers third-party-owned lithium-ion, flow battery, flywheel, supercapacitor and pumped hydro systems contracted to utilities, commercial, industrial and residential customers under energy-only, capacity-only or full-service agreements. Providers stack bulk energy, ancillary, transmission-deferral, distribution-deferral and customer energy-management services, billing on discharged energy, reserved capacity, or a bundled hardware-plus-O&M subscription.
The boundary excludes storage systems owned outright by end users, standalone battery manufacturing, and merchant generation assets without a contracted storage service.
Growth Drivers and Restraints
Non-fossil flexibility support schemes are letting storage contracts stack EU market revenue
Regulation (EU) 2024/1747, in force from 16 July 2024, obliges national regulators to assess flexibility needs annually under a common ACER-approved methodology and establishes Non-Fossil Flexibility Support Schemes that pay for available non-fossil capacity, explicitly including storage. Article 7a(4)(b) limits peak-shaving procurement to demand response while preserving storage assets’ access to other markets. That structure lets a single battery contract earn from ancillary services, capacity payments and bulk energy arbitrage simultaneously, the layering that underpins capacity-only and full-service ESaaS pricing for European utilities and independent power producers.
India’s extended contract tenors are turning standalone BESS into a subscribed utility service
India’s Viability Gap Funding scheme for battery storage, expanded on 10 June 2025 with an INR 5,400 crore allocation, supports 30 GWh of standalone capacity and lengthens contract duration to 12-15 years from the prior 24-month, shorter-tenor structure, while releasing 70% of the subsidy at commercial operation. Of the 25 GWh allocated across 15 states, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra each carry 4,000 MWh, with NTPC separately allocated 5 GWh. The longer revenue horizon lets third-party owners underwrite build-own-operate-transfer contracts for utilities and state distribution companies rather than requiring buyers to fund assets outright.
Data-centre metering and building-solar mandates are pulling commercial storage into service contracts
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364 requires data centres above 500 kW of installed IT power to report sub-metered energy consumption at the UPS or PDU level annually from 15 May 2025, making granular monitoring a compliance cost that favours managed, monitored storage contracts over owned assets. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive’s Article 10 solar mandate requires new public and non-residential buildings over 250 square metres to carry solar generation by 31 December 2026, extending to all new residential buildings by 2029, which pairs rooftop generation with self-consumption-optimisation storage subscriptions for commercial and residential customers.
Interconnection queue congestion is delaying storage commissioning schedules
ENTSO-E’s European Grids Package, published 10 December 2025, estimates more than 50% of needed transmission projects are still awaiting permits against a target of over 100,000 kilometres of new lines by 2030. Utility-scale storage contracted for transmission or distribution infrastructure services absorbs the resulting multi-year queue delay most directly, pushing developers toward smaller, distribution-connected or behind-the-meter projects that can reach commercial operation faster.
Withdrawal of reactive-power compensation is compressing ancillary-service contract economics
FERC Order No. 904, effective 27 January 2025, ends compensation for reactive power supplied within the standard 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging power-factor range and applies with no grandfathering of existing rates. Storage assets contracted for ancillary services in FERC-jurisdictional US markets lose a revenue line embedded in existing service pricing, requiring providers to rebalance value-stack contracts toward bulk energy and customer energy-management services to preserve returns.
Market Trends
US virtual power plant enrollment is folding batteries into demand-response service contracts
Enrolled US virtual power plant capacity reached 37.5 GW in 2025, up just under 14% year-over-year, with residential customers raising their share of wholesale-market-participating capacity to 10.2% from 8.8% in 2024, and deployments including batteries or EVs now numbering 61% as many as those built around smart thermostats, per a September 2025 report. Aggregators are converting behind-the-meter batteries from owned backup assets into capacity-only and customer energy-management service contracts, pulling the residential and commercial segments into recurring demand-response revenue through the forecast period.
Interconnection queue congestion is pushing new contracts toward distribution-level and behind-the-meter siting
ENTSO-E’s European Grids Package, presented 10 December 2025, found that more than half of needed transmission projects were still awaiting permits, against a build-out target exceeding 100,000 kilometres of new lines by 2030. Transmission-connected, utility-scale storage faces the longest queues, so providers and offtakers are shifting new full-service and distribution-infrastructure contracts toward smaller, faster-to-energise sites, favouring commercial and industrial customers over large centralised projects over the next decade.
Longer contract tenors are converting standalone battery projects into subscribed utility services
India’s Viability Gap Funding scheme, expanded 10 June 2025, lengthened contracted storage tenors to 12-15 years and releases 70% of its subsidy at commercial operation, underwriting 30 GWh of standalone capacity. The longer revenue horizon is letting third-party owners underwrite build-own-operate-transfer and build-own-operate contracts rather than sell equipment outright, a tenor structure other emerging markets are likely to replicate as utilities seek storage without balance-sheet exposure.

Utilities accounted for 45.3% of the ESaaS market in 2025, the largest end-user category by contracted capacity. Investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities and rural cooperatives favor third-party-owned storage because it shifts battery capital spending off the utility balance sheet while still delivering peak shaving, frequency regulation and renewable-integration services under a BOOT or BOO contract. Independent power producers use the same structure to add dispatchable capacity without waiting through a full generation-interconnection cycle. Commercial customers are set to expand fastest. Hyperscale and colocation data-center operators are subscribing to on-site storage for demand-charge management and backup power rather than owning battery assets outright, and rising rack density is pushing data-center load profiles toward the peaky curve a leased battery system is built to serve.

Bulk energy services, chiefly arbitrage and renewable time-shifting, held 36.4% of ESaaS activity in 2025, the largest slice of the value stack. Providers can meter and bill bulk energy services against a single wholesale price signal, which makes the contract easier for financiers and offtakers to underwrite than newer, harder-to-value grid services. Customer energy management services are growing fastest as the segment converts from a bulk-energy sale into a bundled subscription. Retail rate structures that split demand charges from volumetric energy charges are turning behind-the-meter storage into a direct bill-management tool. Commercial and residential customers are increasingly paying for backup power and time-of-use optimization as a standing service rather than a one-off installation.
Regional Analysis
Asia Pacific held 33.0% of the ESaaS market in 2025, the largest of the five regions. India’s Central Electricity Authority updated its Manual on Transmission Planning Criteria in January 2025, directing state transmission utilities to reserve substation space for reactive compensation and renewable-evacuation infrastructure, a planning shift that widens the entry point for grid-connected storage-as-a-service contracts tied to new solar and wind capacity.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed in July 2025, preserved the Section 48E investment tax credit for storage on its own phase-out schedule through 2034 even as it accelerated the wind and solar credit phase-out, and kept ITC transferability intact. Transferability is what lets third-party developers monetize the credit and offer utilities and commercial hosts a service contract instead of a capital purchase.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1747, in force since July 2024, created a legal basis for Non-Fossil Flexibility Support Schemes that pay storage and demand response for available capacity, and directs national regulators to assess flexibility needs annually against a common ACER-approved methodology. Its revenue-stacking provisions are what make multi-market storage contracts financeable across member states.
Gulf states are the region’s clearest demand pole, pairing sovereign-backed renewable tenders in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with green-hydrogen-linked projects that need firm, dispatchable power behind an intermittent generation base. Sub-Saharan utilities are still building the grid connections a service contract would attach to, leaving off-grid and mini-grid storage as the nearer-term opportunity.
Brazil’s periodic capacity auctions and Chile’s high-irradiance solar resource anchor regional storage contracting. Chilean developers are increasingly pairing storage with solar bids to manage curtailment on a grid with limited transmission headroom, while Mexico’s slower permitting environment has kept service-model contracting there more limited than in its southern-cone neighbors.
Competitive Landscape
The Energy Storage as a Service market is led by a group of established players, including Tesla, Fluence, ENGIE, Siemens, LG Energy Solution, Eos Energy Enterprises, NextEra Energy, AES Corporation and Schneider Electric. Competition centers on the cost of capital behind a BOOT or BOO contract, since a provider that can carry the battery asset on a cheaper balance sheet can undercut a rival on the service fee alone. Battery chemistry choice matters too: LFP cells trade a lower degradation rate and thermal-safety margin for the higher energy density of NMC, and that trade-off feeds directly into the availability guarantees a provider is willing to write into an O&M contract. EPC execution record decides who wins repeat utility and data-center business, because a missed commissioning date on a storage-as-a-service asset delays the offtaker’s own revenue. Foreign Entity of Concern sourcing rules taking effect for US projects beginning construction after December 2025 are starting to separate providers by their ability to certify a compliant battery supply chain.
Strategic Outlook
Commercial and industrial behind-the-meter contracts, particularly hyperscale data-center hosts, represent the clearest whitespace through 2035 for providers able to offer full-service BOOT structures. Realizing it depends on ITC transferability surviving the Foreign Entity of Concern compliance rules now attached to projects beginning construction after December 2025.
By 2035, expect the value stack to keep shifting away from single-purpose bulk-energy arbitrage toward bundled customer energy management contracts, as buyers increasingly treat storage as a subscribed service layered onto existing load rather than a discrete asset purchase.
