SUMMARY:Energy Storage 101
DESCRIPTION:Join the Illinois Environmental Council\, Union of Concerned Scientists\, Citizens Climate Lobby Central Illinois Chapter\, Faith in Place\, Greenlight America\, and Sierra Club for a virtual session that will cover what energy storage is and how it can support Illinois communities. \nIn this hour-long virtual discussion with expert panelists we’ll break down how battery energy storage systems (also known as BESS) work\, how they support a more reliable and affordable grid\, and what benefits they bring to our communities. We’ll also cover how the new statewide framework\, the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA)\, impacts storage projects\, what the safety record and standards actually are\, and what the new Illinois law requires at the local level. \nFeeling confused about energy storage? Not sure why it matters or whether it’s good or bad? Confused about why you’re suddenly hearing about it in the news? This is your chance to get the real facts and ask the questions that matter to you and your neighbors. \nWe’re here to help our communities make sense of this important and evolving topic— Register today to join at https://www.mobilize.us/greenlightaction/event/1011840/. We can’t wait to see you there!
