Turning Customer Batteries Into Grid Capacity: How Behind-the-Meter Storage Is Reshaping the Future of Flexible Power
Power outages have become increasingly common, and longer in duration, due to extreme weather and temperature events. Behind-the-meter (BTM) batteries are proving their worth, as they have become more than niche devices quietly supporting backup power during storms. These batteries now offer vital support in an increasingly volatile energy ecosystem.
