Webinar | Ask Mayfield Anything featuring GridVest and PowerSwitch
Watch the Ask Mayfield Anything webinar on what new tariffs mean for U.S. energy-storage projects, featuring experts from Mayfield, GridVest, and PowerSwitch.
What Tariffs Mean for the U.S. Energy Storage Markets
Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs — they’re driving uncertainty across the entire energy-storage ecosystem. Watch the full Ask Mayfield Anything session to understand how new tariff announcements will impact battery procurement, project timelines, and investment decisions in 2025 and beyond.
Policy changes are nothing new for the renewable-energy industry — but the latest tariff announcements have created a level of uncertainty that developers, EPCs, integrators, and financiers are all struggling to navigate. Shifts in global manufacturing, questions around U.S. production capacity, and cascading impacts on pricing are forcing project teams to re-evaluate how they plan, procure, and model battery-storage deployments.
In this episode of Ask Mayfield Anything, What Do Tariffs Mean for the U.S. Energy Storage Market?, host Ryan Mayfield is joined by Alex Shoer of GridVest and Drew Lebowitz of PowerSwitch (and author of The BESS Book).
Together, they offer a grounded, expert perspective on what’s happening now — and how project teams can strategically navigate the uncertainty ahead.
