As the build-out of battery energy storage accelerates in North America, the opportunity for strategic storage optimization is also growing. It's becoming clear to owners, that battery energy storage is operationally distinct from wind, solar and other passive business models, but what things need to be considered and what differences are we seeing as optimizers operate in the different ISO markets.
In today’s episode, Mike Kirschner, US Managing Director at Habitat Energy joins Quentin at Energy Storage US. Over the course of the conversation, they discuss:
- How optimizers are navigating the multiple markets (and opportunities) across the US and A look at ERCOT’s market dynamics
- Why operators in ERCOT have historically undertaken optimization in-house, and how this mindset is changing.
- Insight into Habitat Energy’s portfolio and future plans.
- Expansion across the USA and the importance of understanding the individual differences between ISO’s.
- The challenges co-located projects pose for Optimizers.
- A look at the trading side of Habitat and Mike's views on the future for AI-supported trading.
