Andy Tang, VP of energy storage and optimisation (ES&O), Wärtsilä Energy. For now, the US industry is largely dependent on Chinese battery imports, and while US battery manufacturing at scale is an achievable goal, it''s unlikely to be able to meet its demand enough to move the needle until around 2027 at the earliest, says Andy Tang.
Software is rapidly becoming recognised as key to the value proposition and bankability of energy storage, which in turn lies at the heart of the energy transition. Luke Wittmer would argue too that although now part of a much bigger entity, the cloud computing evangelist ethos of Greensmith Energy lives on as part of Wartsila. The
