Exciting Developments in the U.S. BESS Sector & Opportunities for Skilled Talent
The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) landscape in the U.S. is evolving rapidly, with significant projects on the horizon:
- Georgia Power is gearing up for 500 MW of new BESS projects by winter 2026-2027, ensuring grid reliability and capitalizing on tax incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act.
- Enel has recently brought five new BESS systems online in Texas, adding 369 MW / 556 MWh to the grid. These systems will play a crucial role in stabilizing Texas’s energy supply during peak demands.
Developers across the U.S. are navigating challenges like grid connection delays and rising demand for skilled workers, making well-executed projects more valuable than ever.
As these projects roll out, the demand for skilled construction and engineering talent will be crucial. Ensuring these BESS installations are built efficiently and effectively requires a strong workforce with the right expertise.
