The outgoing Biden-Harris administration in January announced an increase in tariffs on batteries from China from that 7.5% to 25%, from
Florida law also provides manufacturing sales tax exemptions; however, these exemptions do not apply to the purchase of utility-scale BESS equipment used to store wind or solar power. Innovation is a driving force in the development and use of BESS.
Sales tax is most relevant when considering the expense of the equipment and installation of a BESS, which is often transferred to a different owner. Most states impose a sales tax on sales of tangible personal property.
Stand-alone BESS is subject to property tax. Texas offers an incentive program referred to as chapter 312 to attract new capital investment that has benefitted renewable development. Chapter 312 of the Texas Tax Code allows cities, counties, and special districts to enter into tax abatement agreements with taxpayers that make qualified investments.
Before the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted in 2022, BESS could only access federal tax credit funding when powered by solar and required the business-owned storage to be charged with solar 75 percent of the time.
Here's the rundown: As of March 22, 2025, BESS manufactured in China and shipped to the U.S. faces a tariff rate that's already a bit of a gut punch. Under the Biden administration's Section 301 adjustments, lithium-ion batteries for non-EV applications (like our grid-scale BESS) are slated to jump from 7.5% to 25% starting January 1, 2026.
Depending on the anticipated sourcing of materials for the project, the impact of these tariff rate increases as they come online may be to substantially increase construction prices on BESS projects.
