I am pleased to share that our team presented our case study at BatterMBA last month with Cohort 16. Our case, “BESS Permitting & Fire Safety: Navigating Deployment Decisions for Utility‑Scale Energy Storage,” examined the strategic challenges facing a grid‑scale battery developer when selecting locations for large BESS investments in the US and Europe. We focused on a central question: how to balance regulatory compliance, safety investments, permitting risk, and long‑term revenue potential. In the presentation, we explored three strategic pathways — minimum compliance, full regulatory alignment, and investing beyond requirements — and discussed the trade‑offs each creates for land use, permitting timelines, insurability, and asset reliability. A key takeaway was differentiating perceived versus actual BESS safety risks, and understanding how past incidents, evolving regulations, and integration quality influence Authority Having Jurisdiction decisions and community acceptance (Not in my back yard, NIMBY). We highlighted the importance of early regulator engagement, learning from root‑cause analyses, and recognizing that most failures arise from integration and operations rather than cells themselves. Collaborating with Curtis Davis Jr., Moses Naiman, and Craig McCall was a rewarding experience, allowing us to approach the case from regulatory, technical, operational, and strategic perspectives. I would also like to thank the Battery Associate team for building a program that promotes cross‑functional thinking across battery technology, manufacturing, policy, economics, and strategy. Thank you to Cohort 16 for the insightful questions and engaging discussion. #BatteryMBA #EnergyStorage #BESS #FireSafety #Permitting #BatteryIndustry #NIMBY

Just wrapped up the BatteryMBA program—an incredibly rewarding experience. Over the past few months, I’ve expanded my perspective on the battery ecosystem, from technical fundamentals to the business and strategic forces shaping the industry. Even more valuable was learning alongside a diverse, global cohort across the battery value chain. This experience strengthened both the technical and business perspective needed to navigate the rapidly evolving battery and EV landscape—covering lithium-ion fundamentals, supply chain dynamics, policy, and market shifts. As part of the program, I presented “Lithium Projects in the Americas and Their Role in Closing the 2035 Supply Gap,” exploring the global lithium supply-demand outlook, the challenges in meeting future demand under current market conditions, and the critical role of new projects in the U.S. and South America. I also had the opportunity to collaborate on the “Strategic Repurposing of an EV Gigafactory” case study with Tony GUILLON and Manan Parikh evaluating pathways for an underutilized EV Gigafactory —ranging from chemistry shifts (NMC to LFP) to format conversion and alignment with the growing energy storage (ESS) market. As the pace of electrification accelerates, it’s clear that batteries sit at the center of it all. I’m excited to bring these insights into my day-to-day work and continue building in this space. Very grateful for the community and conversations that made this such a great experience. Huge thanks to Mariano Sydney Rubio, Dr. Garima Shukla, Dr. Juhi . and Dr. Simon Engelke for making this happen.

Just completed the #BatteryMBA program — a highly valuable and insightful experience. Over the past months, I’ve deepened my focus on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), at the intersection of technology, markets, and regulation. Drawing on my experience across finance and energy, my essay on risk in BESS M&A transactions explores a central investment question: not whether a model works — but whether the investment case remains robust once structural, technical, and market uncertainties are fully integrated. In BESS, value is inherently dynamic. It requires going beyond assumptions to understand where fragility lies and how resilient cash flows remain under real-world conditions . This experience further strengthened my conviction that disciplined risk assessment is key to navigating complex energy investments.

I would like to share my graduation from the renowned BatteryMBA - Cohort 16. It was a 12-week journey filled with insights into the battery industry, brought by leading experts in the field. I will be sharing some of these insights over the coming weeks. Beyond the opportunity to learn, I shared a little about the differences between DC-coupled and AC-coupled Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) applications in utility-scale PV plants during the course's final presentation. It's hard to imagine a future without renewable energy, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to picture renewables unassociated with energy storage systems. Therefore, I would like to thank Mariano Sydney Rubio and the Battery Associates team for their excellent work in putting this course together, as well as Drew Lebowitz, PE and Dr.-Ing. Ahmed Elbaz for their outstanding lectures on BESS projects. I also want to thank Thespina Fletcher for the encouragement and PVcase for the opportunity to add this knowledge to our mission to move solar forward. #bess #pvcase #renewables

I am grateful to share that our team presented our case study at BatteryMBA on 2nd April with Cohort 16. Our case, "Building a European Battery Advantage Through AI-Driven R&D," examined how a European battery manufacturer like VoltNova could pursue growth despite structural cost disadvantages. We focused on a central strategic question: how to allocate resources between LFP scale-up, AI-driven optimization, and future R&D to enhance learning faster than capital is consumed. In the presentation, we explored three strategic pathways — Scale-First, Innovation-First, and Hybrid — discussing the trade-offs associated with each. An important part of the case was distinguishing where AI can deliver real operational value and where it cannot address deeper structural challenges. We specifically highlighted yield improvement, scrap reduction, testing-time compression, process understanding, and faster convergence during ramp-up, while acknowledging that AI alone does not bridge Europe’s cost gap. Collaborating with Stephen Jose Mathew, Thangamalar Bhaskaran, Hugo Cruz, and Bokyung (Olivia) Kim was a rewarding experience. Our discussions helped and allowed us to approach the case from technical, operational, AI deployment and strategic perspectives. I would also like thank Mariano Sydney Rubio and the BatteryMBA for building a program promoting cross-functional thinking across battery chemistry, manufacturing, economics, and strategy. Thank you to Cohort 16 for the engaging questions and discussion. #BatteryMBA #BatteryIndustry #EnergyStorage #ManufacturingStrategy #AI

I'm happy and excited to share that I've recently completed the BatteryMBA program with Battery Associates. Over the past 12 weeks, I had the opportunity to dive deep into one of the most transformative industry shaping the global energy transition. The program offered a rigorous, practical, and future-focused view on the battery value chain and the accelerating shift towards electrification. A heartfelt and big thank you to Mariano Sydney Rubio, Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Garima Shukla, and all the industry experts who generously shared their time, insights, and experience. your guidance and mentorship on various topics were truly inspiring and immensely valuable. As a part of the program, our team completed a group case study focused on supporting a large-scale EPC and developer in scaling its utility-scale BESS business through strategic expansion into U.S. markets, with a particular emphasis on ERCOT. Our work explored: ⚡ Removing grid bottlenecks ⚡ Unlocking new business models ⚡ Embedding best-practice project development frameworks ⚡ Designing a dual offtake strategy for data centers and merchant markets to enable bankable, investable BESS assets I would like to thank my colleagues from batteryMBA cohort 15 who became friends now 😊 for their valuable contribution during our case study work.(Thank you Imtiyaz Pirmohamed., Amir Bani Hashemi, Navin Ramnane, Sanjay Gurunath, Mario Schulz) This journey has expanded my perspective and sharpened my knowledge about the batteries. I’m coming out of this experience even more motivated to contribute to—and accelerate—the deployment of energy storage tech across the globe. Looking forward to applying these learnings and driving real impact in the industry. BatteryMBA Battery Associates Fluence

Thrilled to share a milestone in my energy storage journey! I’ve recently completed the BatteryMBA program by Battery Associates, a 12-week deep dive into the technologies, markets, and systems shaping the global battery ecosystem. The program was an incredible opportunity to broaden my perspective across the full battery value chain—from manufacturing and supply chains to policy, system economics, and circularity. A big thank you to BatteryMBA, Mariano Sydney Rubio, Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Garima Shukla, Battery Associates, and all the guest lecturers and industry leaders who brought unparalleled insights and made the learning truly impactful. As part of the cohort with Luisa Dahlem Almeida, Artyom Sitnikov and Fabiano G., our team worked on a case study assessing Revenue Stacking for Standalone BESS across the UK, USA (CAISO & ERCOT), Germany, and Australia. We evaluated: • Policy & regulatory environments • Revenue opportunities • Energy price trends • Technology/duration considerations And addressed key questions like: 1.Which market provides the strongest regulatory clarity and predictable revenue streams? 2. What storage durations and revenue models best support bankability? 3. Based on risk appetite and policy outlook, which market should a developer prioritize for its first standalone BESS investment? The experience has reinforced my passion for advancing energy storage deployment, especially in fast-growing markets like India and beyond. Looking forward to applying these learnings, contributing to meaningful projects, and continuing to support the global energy transition

Over the last 12 weeks, I have been attending from as a part of cohort 10 and I have successfully graduated from the course. We have had the chance to listen and discuss with industry leaders spanning the entire value chain. Additionally, we have had access to over 90 lectures from previous cohorts. This has allowed me to broaden my horizons, learn about LIBs from mine to end-of-life, and challenge some of my existing beliefs about the industry. However, the cherry on top was to connect and have open discussions with bright and interesting battery professionals from all over the globe. I am really grateful for the open conversations. I would like to thank all the lecturers for their time and effort. I would also like to thank Dragana M. for the career development session and her advice to me.

🎓 I am excited to share the completion of the Battery MBA BatteryMBA, a 12-week CPD certified online course provided by Battery Associates. This program is tailored for battery enthusiasts of all levels and backgrounds, offering a comprehensive understanding of the battery industry and a lasting community of battery alumni. 🔋 A huge thank you to the dedicated team at Battery Associates Dr. Simon Engelke, Mariano Sydney Rubio, Dr. Garima Shukla, Dr. Sheida ISIKLI, the insightful lecturers, and my fellow peers. Here are some of my key takeaways from the program: 1. The future committed battery supply of ~6.9 TWh in 2030 could be sufficient to cover the expected global demand. However, the supply/demand are "regionally disbalanced" due to canceled and paused investments. 2. Indonesia’s success story in advancing downstream policies in the nickel industry and the high governmental focus on developing a domestic lithium battery industry ecosystem. 3. Li metal anode being considered the “holy grail” of battery chemistry. 4. Energy density dependency on cell chemistry but also on inactive materials, highlighting the importance of reducing the Bill of Materials (BoM), e.g., cell-to-pack design. 5. Innovations like solvent-free dry coating, high-speed stacking, and double-layer coating are reshaping the cell production process. 6. Li batteries require dry conditions during manufacturing. The cell manufacturing process is energy-intensive, and separating humans from the process reduces the amount of dry air needed - for example, dry room mini-environments. 7. Cell electrolyte R&D directions: super long cycle life (LFP>12000 long cycles), ultra-high energy density, super-fast charge (LFP+AG4-6 C fast charge, NCM + AG 5-7C fast charge), sodium-ion electrolyte, solid electrolyte, super safe (semi-solid electrolyte, gel electrolyte). 8. Installed capacity is not equal to usable energy, hence the importance of checking built-in safety limits, recommended Depth of Discharge (DoD), operational temperature limits, and derating. 9. Important standards for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) safety (IEC market and NA): IEC 62619, IEC 63056, IEC 62933, IEC 62477-1 (PCS), UL 1973, UL 9540A, UL 1741 (PCS), EMC Directive, Low Voltage Directive, Battery Directive, Machinery Directive. 10.Battery testing: performance, lifetime, and safety - are key pillars in reducing product risks. 11. Why, when and how to “battery recycle”. 12. Over 66% of the market share is distributed among the three largest battery players. Top 10: CATL, BYD, LG Energy Solutions, Panasonic, SK, CALB, Samsung, Gotion, EVE, Sunwoda.

Pleased to share that I’ve successfully graduated from the BatteryMBA programme (Cohort 14) — a rigorous 3-month CPD-certified executive training designed to equip professionals at the forefront of the energy transition. This experience has deepened my understanding of the battery value chain, storage technologies, lifecycle economics, and evolving business models. I’m especially grateful for the global perspectives, peer exchange, and practical insights shared by experts across the sector. As we collectively pivot towards a decentralised, decarbonised energy future, I see battery energy storage as not just a market, but a mission. 🔋 Now more than ever, energy intelligence will define leadership. 🔗 I remain committed to bridging strategy, capital, and innovation across renewables, storage, and tokenisation. Gratitude to the Battery Associates team, our faculty, and my fellow participants for making this journey impactful. Let’s stay connected and shape what comes next. #BatteryMBA #EnergyStorage #BatteryExperts #EnergyTransition #BESS #Decarbonisation #ProjectFinance #Innovation #Tokenisation #Renewables #Leadership

I remember the first time I heard about the BatteryMBA. An old contact, Thomas Mueller, had just taken a top role at JLR, where I am a contractor through ALTEN LTD - UK. I found this curious line on his profile, and in a fit of excitement, spurred by I don't know what, I began to research it, and then discussed it with my career manager at Alten. It would be a couple of years later before the time was right, and Thomas SIMON would champion my addition to the Alten Technical Specialists programme. Feeling the need to know more to deliver this role effectively, I reinvigorated my original interest and with the excellent support of Jamie Alexander, I was sponsored to do the Battery MBA! Lest I tell you how the whole programme went, and I know many of my cohort mates would fully expect that, considering how much I talked and talked on the programme; I'll just say I am super proud, not just to have finished, but to have delivered a clean sweep of the activities, beyond the requirement of the programme! ✅️ Personal Presentation: Exploring Rich CAD Data in the Battery Industry ✅️ Group Case Study: Strategies for a Complete EV Product - Infrastructure-driven differentiation by market ✅️ Personal Essay: From Resource Rich to Battery Smart: Bridging the Talent Gap for Africa's Battery Future Huge thanks to those already mentioned for the inspiration and support to my career so far, but also to: Princess and the kids for coping with me while I took time out of an already packed schedule! Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Garima Shukla, Mariano Sydney Rubio, Dr. Sheida ISIKLI and the rest of the team, for a fantastic programme!

I’m pleased to share that I’ve successfully graduated from the BatteryMBA programme (Cohort 14) — a rigorous 3-month CPD-certified executive training program designed to equip professionals at the forefront of the energy transition. The experience has deepened my understanding of the battery value chain, storage technologies, lifecycle economics, and evolving business models. A particular highlight was collaborating with Jeremy Chuah Chun Howe, Rafi Ramadhan Seba, Ahmad ALKiswani, Gareth Foulkes-Jones, Rômulo Ristow, MBA, PMP, George Durnan, Diego Siguelnitzky on our capstone case study: BESS Pilot Market Assessment comparing projects in Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Malaysia, Germany and the UK. We analyzed different emerging revenue models underpinning grid-scale BESS projects and applied credit risk frameworks to structure debt in a way as to compare project KPIs on a somewhat even keel. We pushed through different time zones, backgrounds and areas of expertise to deliver a solid piece of work, showcasing the power of collaboration and shared purpose. Our case study was ultimately selected for presentation as an open interactive session moderated by the BatteryMBA team — and open to all who are curious about energy storage, project finance, or the collaborative, hands-on learning that powers the BatteryMBA. This was held on 20 August and was well attended with close to 100 participants! Throughout the program, I had the privilege to exchange insights with professionals from across the battery value chain—technology providers, policy experts, grid specialists and entrepreneurs with each offering diverse perspectives and real-world context that enriched every session. I am currently looking for my next career challenge within the energy transition at the nexus of finance, power markets (and the growing value of flexibility), and power system integration where the mix is now dominated by power from the wind and sun. The opportunity to network through the program has been of great value to me. Thank you Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Sheida ISIKLI, Dr. Garima Shukla, Mariano Sydney Rubio, guest speakers and fellow cohort members for making this journey so meaningful! #BatteryMBA, #BatteryAssociates

Pleased to share that I’ve successfully completed BatteryMBA Cohort 14. With a background in business development, I approached this program eager to deepen my understanding of the battery sector particularly at the intersection of technology, commercialization, and strategic growth. Over the past three months, BatteryMBA provided a truly unique perspective, combining technical insights with market trends, policy developments, and industrial strategy. I’m especially grateful to Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Sheida ISIKLI, Mariano Sydney Rubio, and Dr. Garima Shukla for curating a curriculum that goes beyond what is typically covered in academic or business education. Their efforts have built a platform that truly bridges the gap between research, innovation, and commercialization. A highlight of the program was the group case study, where I had the opportunity to collaborate with Hasan Ali, Olegario Villa Hernández, Saurin Sethia and Manar Almazrouei. Together, we explored the topic: “Scaling from Laboratory Innovation to Commercial Battery Manufacturing in the UAE,” examining the region’s potential to become a strategic hub for future gigafactories. #BatteryMBA

Just wrapped up an incredible journey with BatteryMBA Cohort 14! As someone who already has a PhD in battery materials, I thought I knew the field pretty well - but this program completely updated my knowledge with the latest market insights, industry trends, and real-world applications I'd never encountered in academia. Over the past three months, I've been learning from industry leaders about everything from cutting-edge manufacturing processes to the business side of battery development - areas that aren't covered in traditional research programs. The mix of technical depth and market intelligence was exactly what I needed to bridge the gap between my research background and industry realities. Huge shoutout to Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Sheida ISIKLI, Mariano Sydney Rubio, and Dr. Garima Shukla for creating such a well-rounded program that goes way beyond what you'd find in textbooks!

Just wrapped up an incredible journey with BatteryMBA Cohort 14! As someone who already has a PhD in battery materials, I thought I knew the field pretty well - but this program completely updated my knowledge with the latest market insights, industry trends, and real-world applications I'd never encountered in academia. Over the past three months, I've been learning from industry leaders about everything from cutting-edge manufacturing processes to the business side of battery development - areas that aren't covered in traditional research programs.

Over the past few months, it’s been an intense yet rewarding experience—balancing workday demands and tender submissions with late evening sessions and group assignments. I'm so grateful and blessed to have pushed through and grown alongside some truly inspiring peers. A particular highlight was collaborating with Sebastian Meyer, Rafi Ramadhan Seba, Ahmad ALKiswani, Gareth Foulkes-Jones, Rômulo Ristow, MBA, PMP, George Durnan on our capstone case study: BESS Pilot Market Assessment in Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Malaysia, Germany and the UK. We braced through different time zones, backgrounds and areas of expertise to deliver a solid piece of work, showcasing the power of collaboration and shared purpose. Throughout the program, I had the privilege to exchange insights with professionals from across the battery value chain—technology providers, policy experts, grid specialists and entrepreneurs with each offering diverse perspectives and real-world context that enriched every session. "When you stretch beyond your limits, you don’t just build knowledge—you build resilience, connection and perspective. As the global energy landscape rapidly evolves, the learning never stops. Let’s continue to push boundaries, share knowledge and shape the future of the energy transition—together. Thank you Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Sheida ISIKLI, Mariano Sydney Rubio, Dr. Garima Shukla, guest speakers and fellow cohort members for making this journey so meaningful! BatteryMBA Battery Associates

I recently graduated from the BatteryMBA program where I had the opportunity to learn from leading experts across the global battery value chain, covering anything from raw materials and cell manufacturing to policy, finance, and recycling. Navigating the program with it primarily being based in Europe while solo backpacking across South America, and with limited access to reliable internet connection required a lot of improvisation and problem solving - but was well worth it. The program strengthened my understanding of both the technical and commercial aspects of the battery/renewable ecosystems and connected me with an incredible international cohort of professionals driving the future of energy. Excited to carry these insights forward as I continue working at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and energy systems. I highly recommend the program and can vouch for their scholarships and the value of getting to connect with an incredible cohort of working professionals. #BatteryMBA #EnergyStorage #BatteryIndustry #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #CleanTech

🔋 Behind every energy revolution is a battery story. Here’s mine. Last week, I wrapped up the BatteryMBA by Battery Associates a prestigious, global program now in its 13th cohort. 83 participants. 30+ countries. 12 weeks of deep dives into battery tech, business models, systems thinking, and the future of storage. From chemistry to circularity. Finance to grid resilience. The real kicker? It wasn’t just about batteries. It was about understanding the entire ecosystem that energy storage empowers - from EV infrastructure to AI Data Center co-location (yes, we tackled that in our team case study!). Big shoutout to the brilliant faculty who lit the path - Dr. Simon Engelke, Mariano Sydney Rubio, Dr. Garima Shukla, and Dr. Sheida ISIKLI and my incredible teammates: Paul Pinkerton, Oluwaseun Ige Abolurin (Abogunrin), Julian Renpenning, Adam Turcotte, and Henry Easterbrook.

As a diagnostic and test engineer this program consistently provided the technical background that I can use when applying testing methods or diagnostics to the battery pack system. The leadership of this program is so very supportive and provided guidance and targeted areas for us to focus in the fast paced area of energy storage systems. To my cohort colleagues, thank you for the support, comments, and guidance that each of you provided to our group. Many thanks to Dr. Simon Engelke, Dr. Sheida Isikli, Dr. Garima Shukla, and Mariano Rubio for their leadership and management of the program, and the technical expertise they selflessly provided to the group. I can highly recommend this program to anyone that is motivated to elevate their technical and leadership expertise in battery systems. A truly wonderful experience!

Definitely! BatteryMBA has been an amazing experience. I got to connect with professionals from both industry and academia, and I learned a lot of up-to-date and practical insights. It really helped me see the bigger picture of the battery world and understand how my research connects to real-world needs. ... What I enjoyed the most was that every presentation was built on real experience. Each session felt like it could be an entire book on its own! In just a short time, you get to hear the best insights from different scientific and industry discussions about batteries. And in the end, you have a whole set of topics in front of you to explore deeper, helping you choose your next steps with a much broader perspective. .... Being part of this network has been incredibly valuable. I’ve met so many professionals working in different areas of batteries, and these connections can be really useful for future collaborations, research projects, or even career opportunities. Thank you so much
