Building domestic supply chain for battery storage could be a priority for lawmakers, Senate aides say
Promoting a domestic supply chain for energy storage technologies, particularly batteries, could be an area of bipartisan focus for the 117th Congress and a big theme within the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, aides say. Investing in upstream and midstream battery supply chains has the potential to stimulate the economy, improve supply chain security and promote domestic manufacturing jobs, Jacob McCurdy, professional staff member on the committee, said Wednesday at a policy forum hosted by the U.S. Energy Storage Association.
