How does tariff risk affect a battery energy storage system (BESS) project?
Mitigating tariff risk in battery energy storage system (BESS) projects is crucial for ensuring project financial viability, as tariff changes can significantly affect cost structures and overall project economics.
How will tariffs affect energy storage costs?
Tariffs on imports from China are expected to greatly affect energy storage costs, and a 90-day pause in mid-May gave the industry a temporary reprieve. The Wood Mackenzie report notes that the United States is heavily dependent on battery cells to serve the burgeoning market for utility-scale battery energy storage Systems.
Which international trade issues will remain a concern for energy storage projects?
Two major areas of international trade that will remain causes of concern for energy storage projects are the application of tariffs and supply chain integrity.
Where can I find energy storage industry data?
It is available individually each quarter or as part of an annual subscription. The quarterly reports from ACP and Wood Mackenzie are routinely cited by hundreds of media outlets as the authoritative source of energy storage industry data.
The Log9 company is working to introduce its tropicalized-ion battery (TiB) backed by lithium ferro-phosphate (LFP) and lithium-titanium-oxide (LTO) battery chemistries. Unlike LFP and LTO, the more popular NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) chemistry does have the requisite temperature resilience to survive in the warmest conditions such as in India. LTO is not only temperature resilient, but also has a long life.
