Sandia Energy > Programs > Energy Storage > Policy and Outreach > Energy Storage Webinars for Regulators Our Energy Storage webinars for regulators and other stakeholders, free for all attendees and funded by the DOE Office of Electricity, help regulatory commissions and related institutions around the United States (including state energy offices, utilities, and academia) develop the expertise needed to more quickly and efficiently integrate energy storage into their regional operations. These webinars, custom-designed in close collaboration with regulatory commission staff, have already engaged regulators from over a dozen states on topics including energy storage technologies, performance, economics, valuation, interconnection, commissioning, safety, and policy. Benefits Webinars are typically broken out into multiple sessions spread out over time (e.g., two-hour sessions once a week for four-to-six weeks). This relieves some of the intensity of a full day workshop and allows more time for digestion of information between sessions. Sessions can also be recorded, so those who miss the live webinar can view the presentations later.
