Brandon has spent the last 18 years working at the intersection of policy, politics, and business to speed the deployment of renewables and energy storage. Brandon co-founded Plus Power in 2018. Under Brandon’s leadership, the company has pioneered a data-driven approach to development, enabling the US organization to build, own, and operate a diversified battery storage portfolio, including 1350MW of operating assets, supported by over $3B USD of third party capital. The company is actively developing an additional 10 gigawatts of projects in 28+ U.S. states and Canadian provinces. Determining when, where and how to deploy and integrate batteries requires thoughtful consideration. This presentation will share insights into the use case for batteries and how they support renewable energy generation assets, energy markets and grid efficiency and stability.
