Which international trade issues will remain a concern for energy storage projects?Two major areas of international trade that will remain causes of concern for energy storage projects are the application of tariffs and supply chain integrity.
Which countries are generating interest in battery manufacturing?The remaining more than 150 GWh of committed manufacturing capacity is being built in Southeast Asia, India and Morocco. Although these regions have attracted fewer investments to date due to limited domestic battery demand, they are increasingly generating interest from battery manufacturers.
How does tariff risk affect a battery energy storage system (BESS) project?Mitigating tariff risk in battery energy storage system (BESS) projects is crucial for ensuring project financial viability, as tariff changes can significantly affect cost structures and overall project economics.
Will China impose tariffs on lithium-ion EV batteries?An interesting issue will be the imposition of tariffs. There are existing tariffs pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 on some Chinese-origin lithium-ion EV batteries and non-lithium-ion battery parts, which were increased to 25% in September 2024.
Are storage batteries a priority for border detentions for forced labor evaluation?Storage batteries have been indicated as a priority for border detentions for forced labor evaluation, and we expect to continue to see those goods identified as a concern.
Can expansion plans drive geographical diversification in the battery industry?Expansion plans for manufacturing capacity can drive geographical diversification in the battery indust
