How Energy Storage is Propelling America in the AI Race

As America’s AI ambitions ramp up and compete with China, one issue remains at tops of minds for both tech leaders and everyday Americans: will the increasing energy demands of AI and data centers drive up household utility bills? The solar and storage industry has a clear answer: fast-to-build and affordable solar paired with battery storage is ready to provide plentiful power for everybody and propel America far ahead into the lead in the AI race. Redwood Materials is a national leader in securing the minerals and producing the energy storage systems that tech companies are using to power new data centers. Claire McConnell, Redwood’s Vice President of Energy Storage, joins Good Energy to discuss the evolving AI-energy landscape and the key role batteries are playing in it. Good Energy is hosted by Stephanie Bosh, Colin Silver, and the ⁠Solar Energy Industries Association⁠.
