EBC Energy Resources Program: Energy Storage Innovation – Next Steps and Beyond

View the Attendee List

With support from the Baker Administration, Massachusetts has begun the process of implementing energy storage initiatives that will support the grid. Energy storage provides a linchpin for renewables integration, grid modernization, resiliency and more efficient use of generation, transmission, and distribution assets. The Commonwealth is well underway with its Advancing Commonwealth Energy Storage (ACES) Program.

This EBC Energy Resources Program will discuss the ACES program as well as other developing programs and policies of the administration to begin the implementation of support for the storage sector, what has been learned from recent energy storage initiatives, and receive input from market participants that are deploying storage projects.
