Anza ready to revolutionize BESS procurement with Energy Storage Pro

Anza debuted a new battery energy storage system (BESS) data and analytics subscription platform this week, Energy Storage Pro, to streamline BESS procurement in the same way they streamlined solar module procurement.

Anza’s Energy Storage Pro will give users access to 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.

“Until now, developers have had to rely on hard-to-get, quickly outdated pricing, siloed non-standardized product and supplier data, expensive consultants, and manual processes,” said Mike Hall, CEO of Anza. “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.”

BESS development challenges

Battery energy storage system (BESS) project development and procurement is complex and time-consuming, considering all of the emerging suppliers, new technology, global supply restrictions, and volatile pricing shifts. EPCs often must rely on a small set of integrators for pricing and product information.

The traditional process for developers using static tools and inaccurate data can create a costly development delay, reduce competitiveness in utility RFPs, make it hard to make investment decisions, and lower project valuations.

Anza Energy Storage Pro key features

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.

Side-by-Side System Comparison Tool: The platform’s analytics can compare up to four systems side by side. These systems, batteries, and PCS can be compared across over 150 data points to speed up your due diligence process.

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.

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 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.
