Batteries aren’t just supporting the grid anymore, they are defending the grid.
Chris Finley, CCO of TruGrid, joins Nico on stage at PowerUp Live to explain how battery storage has shifted from a “nice-to-have” to a mission-critical asset class. Whether it’s enabling arbitrage in ERCOT or powering hyperscale data centers, battery systems are now leading the charge, literally.
From the complexities of supply chains to the myths about lithium tech, Chris shares a practical, from-the-field perspective on what it takes to deliver large-scale battery projects in today’s challenging market. He also breaks down how policy shifts and interconnection delays are forcing EPCs to rethink how they plan and execute storage projects.
Expect to learn:
🔹 What developers get wrong about battery risk profiles
🔹 How TruGrid streamlines integration from EMS to commissioning
🔹 The hidden economics behind data center battery deployment
🔹 Why project standardization remains elusive, and what to do about it
Today’s convo is must-listen material if you’re building in the battery sector.
