Changes in trade and tax policy may increase costs and put a damper on near-term forecasted energy storage projects. On February 4, 2025, an additional 10% tariff on all goods
As we move into 2025, Convergent is at the forefront of bringing strategic industrial-scale and utility-scale energy storage systems online, reinforcing our commitment to
Solar and storage developers face a sharp increase in equipment procurement costs from Q4 2025 onwards due to Chinese government policy changes and supply-side
A recent Wood Mackenzie report examines two possible tariff scenarios and concludes that costs will skyrocket for both utility-scale
Path forward The year 2025, therefore, will mark another inflection point for the energy storage industry. As technological advancement and falling costs accelerate adoption and bring
Capital Cost and Performance Characteristics for Utility-Scale Electric Power Generating Technologies To accurately reflect the changing cost of new electric power generators in the
Economies of scale are a massive factor in energy storage. A utility-scale project with hundreds of megawatt-hours (MWh) of capacity will typically have a much lower price per
In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are
Experts predict what 2025 holds for U.S. energy policy: EV battery costs fall, energy storage demand surges, carbon removal hits
Outlook and analysis of emerging markets, cost and supply chain risk, storage demand growth supported by large loads and more.
Based on these scenarios, Wood Mackenzie estimated most types of technologies will experience cost increases of 6% to 11%, with utility-scale storage the exception. Energy
