“To make renewables truly capacity, you generally need multiple types of storage. You need some storage that's gonna, you know, do your daily peak shaving type of thing, your four-hour lithium ion, you know, workhorse of the grid type of thing. But then increasingly, if you really want true capacity, you want to be able to rely on this stuff then you also need what people call long-duration energy storage out to, you know, stuff like what our portfolio company Form does, which is multi-day storage.”

Kann: V2G economics do not pencil for EV drivers with $7,000 hardware
“GM, for example, their bi-directional charging bundle runs about 7000 dollars before installation. And grid programs so far have paid drivers a lot less than that. It just doesn't pencil.”
Kann: Power is the rate limiter to AI growth
“And understanding the multiple factors that drive failure of new transmission, I think, is key to understanding why power is, in my opinion, The rate limiter to AI growth, and why upward pressure on electricity prices will probably sustain for a while.”
Kann: Almost none of the 50 GW data center pipeline is off-grid
“There's like, 50 gigawatts of behind-the-meter generation and development at data centers, right? And they, and some people have interpreted that to be, oh, 50 gigawatts of off-grid data centers getting built. It's actually close to zero of those that are true…”
