 U.S. Climate Legislation Set to Boost Energy Storage

Clean energy incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act recently passed by the
U.S. Senate notably include large-scale support for U.S. energy storage

 

Invinity Energy Systems plc (AIM: IES) (AQSE: IES) (OTCQX: IESVF) a leading
global manufacturer of utility-grade energy storage, welcomes the inclusion of
energy storage project support in the Inflation Reduction Act passed by the
Senate on 7 August 2022.

 

Potentially the largest and most far-reaching climate legislation in U.S.
history, the bill contains $369bn of clean energy investment, primarily in the
form of tax incentives and grants aimed at supporting the rapid buildout of
renewable generation and energy storage projects in the U.S.

 

The Company views this development extremely positively, especially with
respect to the fact that energy storage is treated on par with energy
production in the bill. Key areas include:

 

-    Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) and grant programmes expected to
significantly improve economics for standalone energy storage projects
utilising a broad range of clean energy technologies including vanadium flow
batteries.

 

-    Similar support for renewable power generation, which Invinity expects
will accelerate the need for long-duration, high-throughput energy storage
solutions capable of delivering intermittent renewable power on demand, a use
case where Invinity's vanadium flow batteries are both field-proven and offer
advantageous economics.

 

-    An ITC time horizon stretching to 2032, providing unprecedented
project development and investment security in comparison to previous
programmes which were significantly shorter in duration.

 

Given Invinity's geographical footprint and proven track record of project
delivery within the U.S. and particularly within California, the Company
believes it is well positioned to benefit from the support this legislation
will provide to U.S. energy storage projects once it is signed into law.

 

The bill, considered to have overcome its primary hurdle by passing the U.S.
Senate, will now face a vote in the Democrat-controlled House of
Representatives, following which, if it passes the House, is expected to be
signed into law by President Biden.

 

Larry Zulch, Chief Executive Officer at Invinity said:

 

"This is significant legislation not only for its size and scope, but because
it goes beyond past efforts that focused on renewable energy production to
include incentives for energy storage. This is tangible and welcome
acknowledgement that renewable energy and energy storage go hand-in-hand. Once
signed, we see this bill enhancing the already vast opportunity for Invinity's
products in the U.S., not only directly through economic support of storage
project deployments, but indirectly by stimulating large amounts of additional
renewable generation which will require long-duration energy storage solutions
such as Invinity's.

 

This is tremendous support for Invinity's corporate strategy in the U.S."
