The Grid Wasn’t Built for This: The Rise of Long-Duration Energy Storage
A
14:15AdamHOST
So talk to me about in light, where are you finding the customers and you know, the commercial opportunity to, for the battery at Inlight?

14:27Ben KaunGUEST
Yeah, it's it's there's a few different directions and it depends on what segment.

So we've had interest and we have some early projects with electric utilities have early projects with commercial customers um and their motivations are a bit different uh i'll just start with utilities because that's what we've been talking about the last few minutes and uh utilities are interested in in light for a couple of reasons and You know, the main driver right now that's, I think, bringing people to the door is interesting, what is called long duration energy storage.

rated power so if i have a one megawatt system instead of providing four hours which is kind of the typical design for lithium-ion batteries maybe i'm providing 10 hours or 20 hours or 50 hours and that is an emerging need for utilities um that It has kind of like put it on their roadmap.

The main driver of that really is that in a lot of areas of the country, it used to be that the peak of the grid would be the hot summer day at the end of July when all the air conditioners are going.
