Having access to a world-class supply chain makes a difference.

That’s why SunGrid Solutions recently held a summit in Orlando with our suppliers to foster relationships that will make battery energy storage system (BESS) projects more successful. Simply put, we’re making sure our customers get their projects completed the way they need them – on time, on budget and with lasting value.

“With President Joe Biden’s recent directive to increase tariffs on products from China related to energy storage, the supply chain network is more important than ever,” says SunGrid Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Tom Gallagher. “SunGrid will use our robust supplier network to maximize domestic content to reduce the tariff impacts for our customers. We know that the true strength of our energy infrastructure lies not solely with our resources, but in the resilience of our supply chain relationships.”

The Main Events

Over the two-day event, SunGrid and our suppliers discussed key facets that will ensure a positive and successful relationship. The teams held working sessions about SunGrid’s logistics, engineering and procurement processes. Leadership team members also shared an overview of insights into our business development direction and pipeline. Suppliers also gained an inside look at SunGrid’s vision and future state from CEO Jody Snodgrass, giving them a greater understanding of how our organizations can build longevity in our relationships and upcoming projects.

Supplier-SunGrid Team Building

What’s a networking event without a little fun? While together in Orlando, we took advantage of the opportunity for some fun team-building activities. We started out the conference with a sunset happy hour and rounded out the events with a golf tournament and cooking challenge.
