The need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is becoming ever more obvious and urgent. Energy storage is a critical component of the energy transition. Advances in energy storage technology, policy, and applications are quickly increasing around the world, and keeping up with those changes is an ongoing challenge. This workshop series—targeting many issues specific to the Southeast—addresses those advances in energy storage to help stakeholders stay up to date on energy storage roles and capabilities.
