Soaring electricity demand from US data centres is driving significant investment in battery energy storage systems (BESS). US policy, including the Inflation Reduction Act and rules restricting Chinese components, is reshaping the BESS supply chain, creating major opportunities for non-Chinese suppliers like those from South Korea to power the American grid.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy Storage.

◆ The Wire takeaway

US policy has effectively banned Chinese suppliers from its booming energy storage market. If you make any part of a battery system, the Korean giants building new US factories just became your most important customers.
