Gore Street Capital flags uncertainty over battery storage decommissioning costs

• Gore Street Capital warned battery storage decommissioning costs remain uncertain, challenging assumptions that maturing recycling markets will steadily reduce expenses.
• Module recycling represented only around a third of total decommissioning costs in an Electric Power Research Institute study cited in the analysis.
• Assets can become uneconomic before battery degradation determines their useful life, as obsolete systems or lost supplier support constrain operations.
• Equipment reuse, repowering and retained grid connections could preserve value at the end of a project's life.
• Extending asset life may be more attractive than replacement, requiring robust data and long-term planning to assess trade-offs.
