Grid Redundancy: BESS as a Distributed Contingency Plan
As curtailment grows, BESS is no longer a nice to have, and this is being reflected in new legislation requiring BESS inclusion. Major events like the 2025 blackout further highlight the role that battery storage can play in providing redundancy to energy infrastructure. What market opportunities are there for battery operators to provide redundancy services to municipalities and ensure continued […]
Forward Planning: Pivoting Grid Management from Reactive to Proactive
A key risk to grid resilience is the potential for infrastructure improvements to be outpaced by technological advancement, rendering them insufficient at the point of delivery.
