In this episode, host Bill Derasmo is joined by George Koutsonicolis from SOLIC Capital Advisors, to discuss the growing global focus on energy storage, the role of battery storage in the renewable energy transition, and the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on the sector. George also shares his insights into the challenges and trends in raising debt and equity in the storage sector, and the future of tax equity financing. The podcast also explores the differences in dealing with private-backed companies versus publicly traded ones, and the considerations for investing in hybrid resources, versus pure play storage.
