Snippets from the Episode
  • "Batteries are unique in that they can access all kinds of different markets." - Drew Lebowitz
  • "A battery is a fairly simple prospect compared to, let's say, wind turbines, where you've got these like massive structures at its heart. A battery is a very heavy box which sits usually on a concrete pad. So it's fairly simple, but that's not to say it's totally foolproof." - Drew Lebowitz
  • "The size of a project is really dictated by the project and energy capacity that you're looking for." - Sean Daly
  • "Certain suppliers need an inverter, a power conversion system external to the container. There are some suppliers where those inverters are integrated in the container.  And I think we're seeing some more of that in the industry." - Sean Daly
  • "I'd venture to say that they might have the best BESS book out there. It's impressive!" - Brent Broussard
