Modo Selects - Financing, building, and operating batteries with Amit Gudka (Founder @ Field)

You may have seen the news of Field’s recent £200 million fundraise, in order to help them expand their ambitious plans to become full life-cycle battery energy storage developer, owner, and operator. We spoke to Amit back in March 2022 - when Field and Amit were at a much earlier stage of that journey. So, today we’re revisiting that episode - where Amit outlines his overarching mission, and how he thought, at the time, that Field would go about achieving it. Over the course of the conversation they discuss.

• The growing need for newbuild renewable infrastructure.
• Investor appetite in a rapidly expanding market.
• Learnings from actually building battery energy storage systems.
• The increasing demand for lithium, and potential supply chain issues.
• And, of course, where Field fits into all of this.
