Supply chain platform Anza has now launched an energy storage data and analytics subscription platform called Energy Storage Pro. It provides users with on-demand direct-from-supplier pricing, product and supplier data, lifecycle cost, capacity maintenance and comparison tools across more than 20 battery suppliers, including fully domestic and non-Chinese options.
“Energy Storage Pro fills a massive gap in the energy storage market,” said Mike Hall, CEO of Anza. “Until now, developers have had to rely on hard-to-get, quickly outdated pricing, siloed non-standardized product and supplier data, expensive consultants, and manual processes. With Energy Storage Pro, teams can instantly access the most comprehensive data and analytics platform in the industry, saving weeks or even months of time and dramatically improving project outcomes.”
The traditional process for developers using static tools and inaccurate data can create a costly development delay, reduce competitiveness in utility RFPs, make it difficult to make investment decisions, and lower project valuations. Energy Storage Pro gives real-time access to more than 150 data fields covering technical, commercial, performance, safety and supply chain characteristics for batteries, PCS and full system configurations. Users can also download key files, such as single-line diagrams and cash flow models. Additional benefits include:
- Side-by-Side System Comparison Tool: The platform’s analytics can compare up to four systems. These systems, batteries and PCS can be compared across over 150 data points to speed up due diligence processes.
- Accurate Pricing and Lifecycle Cost Modeling: Supplier-provided CapEx and OpEx data, including battery and PCS component costs and installation pricing, enables detailed, up-to-date lifecycle cost analytics. Developers gain the insights needed to accelerate project viability, improve bids, defend valuations and maximize project returns.
- Targeted Filtering to Match Any Project Criteria: Narrow available BESS configurations with more than 30 filters, such as Tier-1 status, PCS compatibility, country of origin, certification standards, and more to identify viable systems rapidly.
- Domestic Content Clarity and IRS Eligibility Insights: Users can easily evaluate domestic content through detailed origin data (cell, pack and container manufacturing locations) and IRS eligibility percentages. Energy Storage Pro automatically verifies whether systems meet current domestic content requirements and calculates the potential ITC benefit.
“By leveraging the Anza platform, we can eliminate weeks of back-and-forth with manufacturers, significantly reducing our data collection time,” said Dennis Loria, Manager of Project Development, MMR/SouthWestern Power Group, an Anza energy storage beta customer.
Last year, Anza launched its solar data and analytics platform subscription for DG and utility-scale solar developers, IPPs, EPCs and utilities to save time, reduce risk, and increase profit in the module selection and procurement process.
