The 14-page report includes information about where the IRA and BIL are supporting BESS development and deployment, what energy storage systems are being updated now, and current research and development in the sector. The white paper also notes that the initiatives in this legislation still face a battle in the implementation phase with funding challenges in the U.S. Congress.
