Market Growth

• Significant growth during the past several years:

- Important testing & evaluation systems continue to be installed

- Fully commercial systems with long-term performance guarantees are also being installed

- Deployments in multiple market segments: grid, commercial & industrial, and residential

Positioned for Continued Growth

Matt Roberts, “The Path Forward for Energy Storage

in the US”, NY-BEST Annual Meeting & Conference,

Albany, NY, March 8-9, 2017

“We forecast the US energy storage market will grow more quickly than the consensus expectation. Increasing penetration of renewable power generation is significantly disrupting peak and non-peak power demand, particularly in regulated states.”

Adapted from UL 9540 table of contents

Planning: Fire Suppression

• This report summarizes the main findings and recommendations from extensive fire and extinguisher testing program that evaluated a broad range of battery chemistries.” (Page 3)

• “The testing was conducted through much of 2016 on behalf of the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Consolidated Edison, as they engaged the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) and the New York City Department of Buildings (NY DOB) to address code and training updates required to accommodate deployment of energy storage in New York City.” (Page 3)

• LG Chem supplied samples to be tested.

• The link on the NYSERDA website is below:https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/Researchers-and-Policymakers/Energy-Storage

• “The main conclusion from the program is that installation of battery systems into buildings introduces risks, though these are manageable within existing building codes and fire fighting methods when appropriate conditions are met.” (Page 3)
