With exponential growth year over year, there has never been a more pivotal moment than this for battery energy storage in the renewables market. This momentum is driven by cost declines, supportive policy, and the ability for energy storage to stabilize and optimize renewable energy across the grid. Finally, with batteries, we can eliminate the one thing holding renewables back - intermittency!

In this discussion, three industry leaders share their expertise around how storage is reshaping energy resilience, accessibility, and grid reliability. Moderated by Jacob Weinberg, Senior Communications Manager at SEIA, this conversation features:

• Anne Hoskins, Senior VP of Policy at Generac Power Systems
• Kavita Ravi, Senior VP of Operations at BlueWave Solar
• Joan White, Director of Storage and Interconnection Policy at SEIA

Expect to learn:

• How storage is delivering reliable, resilient energy to underserved communities
• The importance of training in the latest safety codes, including NFPA 855
• How virtual power plants (VPPs) can aggregate resources to strengthen the grid
• The latest on interconnection, value-stacking, and overcoming regulatory barriers
• Which states are leading in storage innovation and what’s next for deployment
