Energy Storage Market Trends: Lithium-Ion Batteries

Send us a text

In this fast-moving discussion about energy storage, E3's Ginger Elbaum and Chris Wright talk about the trends that E3 is seeing in the marketplace, particularly with regard to lithium-ion batteries. Chris notes that the top three trends he sees are the following: 

1) The Age of Energy Storage is here. Market structures (i.e. state incentives - ISO RTO  are changing, FERC is changing the grid and the way we interact with the grid and the way we consume energy, etc.). 

2) We're going to start seeing battery shortages and developers are going to have to look to other suppliers, not just tier one players.  This will be the subject of an upcoming podcast. 

3) Lithium-ion is king for the next five years or so while other longer duration options are developed.
