From ERCOT to CAISO, MISO to PJM, regional differences are defining how clean energy assets are built, operated, and financed. Prices, policy, and technology are moving at different speeds and for developers and investors, keeping track of what matters most has never been more important.

In this episode of Transmission, Brandt Vermillion & Pete Berini break down what’s driving change across US energy markets in 2025. They explore how policy reforms, flexibility signals, and battery economics vary by region, and what this means for those building the next generation of clean energy assets. The conversation dives into the fundamentals shaping storage revenues, market volatility, and how transparency can help investors make smarter, faster decisions in an increasingly complex landscape.

Key points covered:

•Changes to federal policy and how it has impacted renewables and BESS build out.

•Trends in system durations across different markets.

•How storage economics and flexibility markets are evolving.

•Why transparency and data-driven insight matter more than ever.
