Moment Energy's Bankability Strategy
Moment Energy
The hard part is not building a cheaper battery, it is making a buyer comfortable signing a 10 to 15 year power asset contract with it. In commercial storage RFPs, procurement teams are buying a package of certification, warranty, installer access, insurance acceptance, and lender confidence, not just kilowatt hours. That is why falling first life battery prices squeeze second life vendors like Moment Energy from both directions, on price and on perceived risk.

Moment has built its product around this bankability gap. Luna is sold as a standardized 400 kWh to 1 MWh commercial system with UL 1973, UL 9540, and UL 9540A certifications, and its repurposing facility is UL 1974 certified, which helps insurers, AHJs, and customers treat it like approved stationary equipment instead of retired EV packs.
-
The benchmark keeps getting tougher. BloombergNEF reported average lithium ion pack prices of $108 per kWh in 2025, and stationary storage was the cheapest segment at about $70 per kWh, meaning first life vendors can enter bids with less cost penalty than before while still offering familiar warranties and broad delivery ecosystems.

Incumbents also sell procurement safety in a very literal way. Tesla routes projects through certified installers and offers formal Megapack maintenance and warranty structures, while Fluence discloses performance guarantees, service agreements, and customer reliance on project debt and tax equity. Moment has to recreate that trust stack through certifications, field data, and insured deployments.
The next phase of competition shifts from circularity alone to proving second life systems can be financed and deployed as routinely as new ones. If Moment keeps stacking permitted projects, OEM supply partnerships, and operating data, it can turn certification into a wedge that expands from niche commercial deals into mainstream power constrained sites like EV charging, logistics, and data centers.
