B2U has launched its second 'second-life' battery storage project in the ERCOT market and plans to expand further, supported by a strategic supply agreement with Waymo and increasing EV adoption which provides access to older batteries suitable for stationary storage.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can tap growing supplies of used EV batteries to launch competitive storage projects in Texas now that B2U’s deals show scale is viable. Locking supply deals early can let you sidestep high new battery costs and raise bids on long-duration storage.
