Talk of session: Time to Return to C&I? The Potential of Energy Storage for Commercial and Industrial Users

Commercial and industrial customers have been a particularly challenging segment to address, largely due to the generous discounts these users receive on T&D charges. However, the recent cost reductions of BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) are making this segment increasingly attractive, opening up new opportunities for project developers focused on energy storage. This session will present several target segments and promising new business models.
