2022 Market share shifts (supplier CATL up again); BESS forecasts UNCHANGED following IRA ; FLNC estimates too high

While costs, solar panel constraints, and stalled policy has been a headwind, deployments of battery storage facilities (BESS) have been surprisingly strong. In fact, a record 1.6 GW of BESS has been connected to the grid in just the last 3-months. This is contrary to the…
BESS deployments hit record in Q2 (1.6 GW); Standalone doesn’t get enough credit; FLNC market share

While costs, solar panel constraints, and stalled policy has been a headwind, deployments of battery storage facilities (BESS) have been surprisingly strong. In fact, a record 1.6 GW of BESS has been connected to the grid in just the last 3-months. This is contrary to the…

EXCERPT: At the CleanPower conference in San Antonio this week, a key theme was: delays, delays, delays. Unsurprisingly, this was a common refrain among integrators, developers, EPC and assemblers at the conference. Although we did hear a couple anecdotes of easing port congestion, diesel shortages and pricing has become more acute…

EXCERPT: In a conversation with the CEO of a large Texas battery storage project developer last week, we discussed the hunt for lithium battery alternatives, lithium price shocks, the periodic table, and pivot opportunities. Also in this post, find details on cost creep in New York storage projects, data showing why California’s new storage target is a layup, and thoughts on read-through to storage fundamentals from the new Auxin Solar Tarif Petition and ARRY’s revenue guidance….

Texas Battery Tour, Boots On The Ground, Better Late Than Never, Recon Photos, Storage Attach Rates Soar [storage hits]

EXCERPT: Last week, we got away from the screen for a bit and put some miles on the truck driving across Texas visiting battery storage locations. Focusing primarily on West and Central Texas, we put eyes on: ~1GW of battery storage projects, 11 different projects, 8 projects under construction (75% of the capacity we visited was from projects in the pipeline), and we also cranked the data on storage attach rates….
