Can US trade policy deliver a domestic battery supply chain?
Key Takeaway
Establishing a robust US domestic battery supply chain for energy storage requires comprehensive policy support beyond just trade restrictions to ensure availability and cost stability for developers and large consumers.
AI Summary
- •US efforts to establish a domestic energy storage manufacturing supply chain face significant challenges beyond simple trade restrictions.
- •Current US trade policies alone are deemed insufficient to guarantee a robust domestic battery supply, potentially impacting battery availability and pricing for developers and large power consumers.
- •Achieving a resilient domestic battery supply chain will likely require broader policy interventions, such as incentives for raw material extraction, processing, and advanced manufacturing, to secure future supply and cost stability.
