Video | Market Insights with Amped Solutions: The State of C&I Battery Storage
In this Market Insights conversation, GridVest Managing Partner Alex Shoer sits down with Dan Martin, CEO of Amped Solutions, to break down what it takes to bring a commercial & industrial (C&I) battery storage project from concept to commissioning.
As battery energy storage (BESS) continues to accelerate across the U.S., developers and EPCs are navigating an increasingly complex landscape—one that involves multiple stakeholders, evolving regulations, and persistent financing gaps. Alex and Dan share real-world insights from the field, including:
How C&I battery storage projects get structured from early site planning to installation
The multitude of parties involved in getting a BESS site up and running—and where projects commonly stall
The trade financing gap in energy storage and how developers can work around it
Why early planning around installation space, site constraints, and local regulations is critical
The broader case for why C&I battery storage is one of the most important and compelling segments in the energy transition
Whether you’re a developer, contractor, asset owner, or simply exploring opportunities in battery storage, this discussion offers practical guidance and market-tested perspectives on where the industry is headed—and how to succeed in it.
