A real cohort. Live every week.
BESSMBA isn't a self-paced course. Each cohort meets live with US storage developers, engineers, financiers, and policy leads, to learn, question, and build together.
2 live sessions / week
Cohort meets twice weekly on Zoom with US BESS developers, engineers, IPPs, and policy leads. Not a recorded course.
On-demand library
Every module, deep-dive, and supplementary lecture stays with you. Watch, re-watch, share with your team.
Real US case studies
Tear down flagship BESS projects: ERCOT merchant, CAISO RA, co-located solar+storage, C&I behind-the-meter.
Cohort network
Build a US-first peer group of developers, engineers, financiers, and operators you'll work with for the next decade.
Case Study
Co-located solar + storage in the Southwest
Tear down a real hybrid project: revenue stack, ITC stacking, interconnection, and 20-year operating economics.
Deep Dive
Cells, augmentation & warranties

Built for the people building US storage.
BESSMBA is US-first by design. Most of the cohort will be American developers, engineers, and investors, with seats reserved for international peers building US-facing storage pipelines.
Moving into batteries
Solar developers, T&D engineers, oil & gas professionals, and software / data folks crossing into storage.
Already in BESS, going deeper
Project managers, asset managers, and operations leads who need the full value-chain and market view.
Investing or advising
PE, infra, and tax-equity teams, plus advisors and policy professionals building US storage strategy.
850+ BatteryMBA alumni across the value chain.
BESSMBA inherits the BatteryMBA standard: live cohorts, working professionals, and faculty who've actually shipped projects.
"The BatteryMBA gave me valuable exposure to both the technical and commercial dimensions of the battery value chain."
"I gained deeper knowledge across the entire battery value chain, from raw materials to cell manufacturing and recycling."
"Coming from a business background, the BatteryMBA decisively closed my technical gap. I now engage confidently in battery discussions."

Questions, answered.
When does the launch cohort start?+
We're grouping the launch cohort now. When critical mass is reached for the US, we'll email everyone on the waitlist with the exact dates and the enrollment link. Expect a 6-week window starting within the next quarter.
Why $4,900 instead of $10,000?+
$4,900 is the launch-cohort price for founding members. The standard price after the launch cohort is $10,000. You lock in launch pricing by enrolling from the waitlist.
How is this different from BatteryMBA?+
BESSMBA is the BatteryMBA team's focused programme for Battery Energy Storage Systems, utility-scale and C&I, with US markets, US interconnection, and US incentives at the center. BatteryMBA covers the broader battery value chain globally.
I'm not based in the US, can I still join?+
Yes. The programme is US-first because that is where the largest near-term opportunity sits, but international developers, IPPs, and investors building US pipelines (or learning from US market design) are welcome.
What's the time commitment?+
Two ~90-minute live sessions per week for 6 weeks, plus optional case studies and on-demand material. Built for working professionals.
