For example, the average revenue of an Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) battery in 2023 was $182 per kilowatt per year, but the best-performing asset in the same region was closer to $300 per kilowatt per year, a 60 percent increase. 4 Similar dynamics—where there is a large spread between the best and worst performers—are observed in other grid-scale battery markets, such as the United Kingdom. 5 A variety of factors, including design choices such as battery duration and commercial strategy, can affect these outcomes.

The efficiency of this pumped storage power station will be "90% ". Thus the above answer is appropriate.
While energy storage is already being deployed to support grids across major power markets, new McKinsey analysis suggests investors often underestimate the value of energy storage in their business cases.
Evaluating potential revenue streams from flexible assets, such as energy storage systems, is not simple. Investors need to consider the various value pools available to a storage asset, including wholesale, grid services, and capacity markets, as well as the inherent volatility of the prices of each (see sidebar, “Glossary”).
The revenue potential of energy storage is often undervalued. Investors could adjust their evaluation approach to get a true estimate—improving profitability and supporting sustainability goals.
Ancillary services that stabilize the power grid typically represent 50 to 80 percent of the full storage revenue stack of energy storage assets deployed today. This is observed across multiple mature storage markets but is expected to decrease to less than 40 percent by 2030.
The use of stochastic models, coupled with innovative commercial strategies, could help operators better assess the potential of these assets—enhancing business cases and supporting the continued acceleration of the energy transition.

On July 5, 2025, a joint venture composed of China Energy Construction China Power Engineering International, East China Electric Power Design Institute and Hunan Thermal Power Construction Co., Ltd. officially signed an early working agreement with Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) in Oman for the early work of the Ibri 3 photovoltaic energy storage power station project in Oman, marking the official entry of this major new energy project into the performance stage.
