Battery type: Lithium-ion dominates (82% market share) but requires higher upfront costs. Capacity: Prices range from $400/kWh (100 kWh systems) to $320/kWh (1 MWh+). Climate adaptability: Belarus' temperature swings (-20°C to 35°C) add 10-15% to insulation costs.

For low-risk, contracted battery projects, experts point to a 5–7% discount rate, so we use 7% as a conservative upper limit. Contracted, fixed revenue sources are increasingly common, especially for long duration projects.
