Porter's Five Forces in energy storage. Competitive positioning for developers, operators, and investors in a rapidly scaling market.
FERC Order 841 & 1977, state storage mandates, IRA incentives (Section 30E, 45W), and interconnection reform (FERC Order 2023).
Grid-following vs. grid-forming inverters, fault ride-through, synthetic inertia, and the technical requirements for BESS interconnection at scale.
M&A, JVs, forward contracts, tolling agreements, and the legal frameworks governing large energy infrastructure transactions.
Leading cross-functional teams in energy. Board governance, stakeholder management, and navigating the pace of industry transformation.

The BatteryMBA credential signals strategic capability beyond technical depth — the bridge to VP, Director, and senior roles in the battery storage industry.
A generic MBA teaches case studies about consumer goods. BatteryMBA is built for the fastest-growing energy sector, with curriculum updated quarterly against market developments.
Structured 6-week cohort with live sessions, peer accountability, and direct access to instructors working in BESS today. Complete on schedule — while applying what you learn to live projects.
All 12 modules, all BESS content, all capstone materials. No hidden fees, no upsells. Complete the program and you're credentialed for life.
Generic MBAs mention energy. BatteryMBA goes deep on the technology, economics, and regulatory environment that makes BESS the fastest-invested asset class in the US power sector.
Non-recourse debt structures for 100MW+ BESS installations. How lenders underwrite capacity market revenue, synthetic merchant tails, and the IRA ITC/ PTC stack. Real deal structures, real numbers.
Most industry professionals can't explain the difference between grid-following and grid-forming inverters. You'll be able to — including fault ride-through requirements, synthetic inertia provision, and how this changes the revenue stack for storage assets.
FERC Order 841 (storage as a transmission asset), FERC Order 2023 (interconnection reform), state storage mandates (CA, NY, TX, IL), and how IRA incentives materially improve project economics. Not overview — depth.
BESS projects don't earn revenue from one source. Capacity payments + energy arbitrage + ancillary services (frequency regulation, spinning reserves) + demand charge management + RECs. How to model total project economics and present them to equity investors.
How storage participates in wholesale markets. State-of-charge management constraints, state-of-charge optimization for multi-revenue stacking, and the policy debates shaping how storage will be compensated over the next decade.
Structure a real project — or a hypothetical with real inputs. Model the full P&L, build the investor pitch deck, and defend the go/no-go decision. This is the work product that proves the credential.
US grid-scale storage installations exceeded 20 GW in 2024 — triple the prior year. The pipeline through 2030 exceeds 1,500 GWh. If you're working in or entering this market, you need more than general MBA knowledge. You need BESS-specific expertise.
Investment Tax Credits under Section 30E, standalone storage PTC under Section 45W, and domestic content bonuses are materially improving project economics. Understanding the full incentive stack is now a core competency for BESS developers and investors.
The US grid needs storage at a scale never seen before. Interconnection queues are stacked with BESS projects. FERC Order 2023 is reshaping how projects connect. Revenue stacking — capacity payments, energy arbitrage, ancillary services — is how projects pencil out.
Our alumni network includes professionals at Tesla, GM, Rivian, and a growing list of utility-scale developers and storage operators across the US. Cohort-based learning means you're building relationships with the people who are doing this work right now.
