Energy Storage Webinars for States

Free for attendees and funded by the DOE Office of Electricity, our energy storage webinars for state utility commissions and other stakeholders, help 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. 

Webinars are designed in close collaboration with commission staff. Hosted webinars have engaged officials from over a dozen states on topics including energy storage technologies, performance, economics, valuation, interconnection, commissioning, safety, and other emerging topics. 

Benefits

Webinars are typically broken out into multiple sessions and 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 attendees more time to consider and apply information between sessions. Sessions can also be recorded, so those who miss the live webinar can view the presentations later.
