“And now we're thinking from the outside in, we're saying, what does a power plant look like? What value does it need to bring to the grid? What does it need to do to be really effective and, you know, to meet the business goals of the operator and what do the batteries need to do that are going to do that? And so you start at the power plant and then you move into your, Power block or your enclosure, and then you move there into your module and you move from there into your cell.”

Nuclear and gas lead times make batteries the immediate grid solution
“Nukes are probably five or 10 or more years out. New gas generation. You can't get a new gas generator for probably four or six years at the very shortest. And so the most immediate and economical solution is really that those renewables and batteries.”
Doherty: Moss Landing fire spread after water suppression system failed
“What we do know is that mid-afternoon, January 16th, one of those modules went into thermal runaway. What we don't know yet is we don't have an official sort of answer on is for some reason that water system didn't work correctly. And that thermal runaway spre…”
Doherty: Battery storage failure rates dropped 97% from 2018 to 2023
“If you look at the number of failures and the failure rate from 2018 to 2023, it was just a five year span. That it dropped by 97%, and I think that's something that's really incredible and something to be really proud of.”
LGES targets 100% non-Chinese storage components in Michigan by next year
“Right now, coming off of the Holland, Michigan line, we're on schedule for early next year to be a hundred percent non-Chinese in terms of all of the components and subcomponents that are going into those ESS cells.”
LG Energy Solution moved Arizona ESS production to Michigan to start faster
“Instead of taking three or four years to build a complete greenfield battery factory in Arizona, we could take six to 12 months, take an existing shell, an existing building that had all the permitting done, and had all the infrastructure and all the utilities…”
