Rapid growth in energy storage demand globally has led to supply chain shortages and complex logistical issues. Adding to this complexity is the specialization of energy storage, with a small number of massive projects impacting the supply chain, and myriad products and purchasing options to choose from. Leveraging a strong industry network with data and analytics to advance procurement strategy has become essential to navigate the global issues at play. This session will explore navigating supply chain and project development hurdles as costs rise and delays lengthen, the benefits of employing an integrated, holistic approach, and how it can help mitigate some of the unpredictability of the seemingly "out-of-our-control" market.
