Episode description

The Inflation Reduction Act or ‘IRA’, is turbocharging the buildout of domestic renewable energy solutions in the USA. Until recently, the focus on homegrown battery build-out has been on EV batteries, but the tides are changing as the need for grid-scale energy storage projects is gaining momentum. Pomega Energy Storage Technologies USA is in the race to be first to market to provide it all - from LFP cells to turnkey energy storage solutions.

In this episode from May 2023, we are revisiting a conversation with Louis Caso - Vice President of Business Development at Pomega Energy Storage Technologies USA. Over the course of the conversation, Quentin and Louis discuss:

• What demand looks like for stationary battery storage in the US and who is looking to integrate it.

• How the Inflation Reduction Act is impacting energy storage and turbocharging the US market.

• Insight into the enormity of building a project on the scale that Pomega intends.

• Pomega’s vision to bring start-to-finish battery production to the US.
• And much, much more.
