Key learning objectives:

  • Outline current battery storage trends

  • Explain how battery storage changes energy dynamics

Overview:

The case for battery storage is getting stronger as battery costs decline and electricity demand rises. A site with battery storage is no longer simply a consumption point. It can become an active participant in how energy flows and how demand is managed, creating new ways for businesses to engage with their utilities that were not previously possible.

Summary
What are the current trends shaping battery storage?
The case for battery storage is getting stronger as battery costs decline and electricity demand rises. Demand is being driven by trends including AI data centres and the broader electrification of business operations, and these forces show no signs of reversing.

How does battery storage change the relationship between businesses and utilities?
Traditionally, the relationship was largely one-way: utilities generated and delivered electricity, while businesses consumed it. The main levers available to businesses were efficiency measures and using less energy. Battery storage changes this dynamic by allowing businesses to play a more active role in how energy flows and how demand is shaped.
