The US Budget Bill: Implications for Energy Storage Markets & Manufacturing
In this Energy Storage News webinar, CEA Market Intelligence experts Daniel Finn-Foley and Christian Roselund explore the implications of the U.S. budget reconciliation bill, H.R. 1, for the energy storage industry.
The budget bill recently passed by the US Congress and signed into law by President Trump could bring significant changes to the nation’s energy storage sector, impacting everything from battery deployment to manufacturing and supply chains.
In this webinar, CEA’s Market Intelligence experts Daniel Finn-Foley and Christian Roselund explore the pending changes to US clean energy tax credits (ITC/PTC and 45X), including new ‘prohibited foreign entity’ (PFE) restrictions and what these will mean for the nation’s battery sector.
Through a fascinating presentation based on CEA’s exhaustive research and the speaker’s analysis of the facts, we learn about everything from the new foreign entity of concern (FEOC) provisions to the evolving supplier landscape, to the rippling impact of policy changes across adjacent sectors like solar PV and electric vehicles (EVs).
Speakers:
Daniel Finn-Foley, CEA’s Director of Energy Storage, Market Intelligence
Christian Roselund, CEA’s Senior Policy Analyst
