Over the past decade, advocates for clean energy have engaged in debates about the necessity of suitable battery energy storage technology to support grid operations with renewable power. Significant investments by private and public entities in the development of the industrial sector and renewable energy generation capacity have created a strong incentive to continue supporting various battery technologies through ongoing improvements, rather than adopting an entirely different chemistry. Additionally, the cost reductions achieved in batteries designed for transportation purposes will have a spill-over effect on power sector applications, leading to a decrease in the cost of utility-scale battery packs.
The rapid uptake of renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind, has presented a significant business opportunity for battery manufacturers. Ongoing government initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions have considerably increased funding for the deployment of these technologies.
