How Do Energy Storage Companies Make Money in California?

​Join CleanStart for a Perspectives Webinar featuring Seth Hilton, Partner in Energy Development and head of the Energy Industry Group at Stoel Rives. Seth works with clean energy and battery companies across California, helping them understand the rules, work with utilities, and turn new energy technologies into real, sustainable businesses.

​In this conversation, we’ll break down:

• ​How California’s energy rules affect how battery and storage companies get paid

• ​The difference between grid-scale batteries and those installed at homes or businesses

• ​Who storage companies typically work with—and why those relationships matter

• ​What founders should know about contracts, payments, and where there’s room to negotiate

​Seth will be joined by Thomas Hall and Gary Simon of CleanStart for a practical, founder-friendly discussion focused on what actually matters when you’re building, selling, or operating energy storage solutions.`
