Learning outcomes

  • Energy storage is the key to bridging our current energy mix with more renewable energy, as well as accessing and using it more effectively on the grid.
  • To become more efficient, grid contracts and revenue streams must be structured in ways that allow more flexibility, so that utilities can maximize the performance of grid assets.
  • Energy consumers want control of their energy and are more engaged than ever before. Energy storage is also making energy more affordable for customers.
