The energy storage market is poised to grow dramatically over the next few years. According to SEIA’s new ESMO report, the United States is set to install 683 GWh of new storage capacity by 2030. What do those new to the storage sector need to know to capitalize on this business opportunity? 
 
During this beginner-level workshop, attendees will hear from SEIA’s energy storage team on the most important issues to gain a foundational understanding of where the market is and where it is heading. Experts will present an overview of the energy storage market, relevant state and federal policy updates, domestic manufacturing insights, and the impact of supply chain & FEOC, safety and standards, and community engagement.

Concerns around affordability are front of mind for everyone – governments, communities, and industries alike. Solar and storage projects are a proven solution to lower costs and bring community benefits. The need for these projects on the grid is at an all-time high. To ensure those benefits are having the intended impact, developers must meaningfully engage communities and balance competing stakeholder interests when navigating the complex siting and permitting landscape. 

To discuss these related challenges and solutions, The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2) are co-hosting an invite-only community engagement roundtable at RE+ Northeast. During this roundtable discussion, join state and local government officials and their staff, nonprofits, advocates, and the industry as they discuss challenges in the energy landscape around affordability, siting & permitting, community benefits, and community engagement. This intimate roundtable is closed door so that all participants can ask and answer tough questions around these complicated topics. Participants will leave with strategies and tactics to siting and community engagement that lead to better long-term outcomes for all stakeholders, recourses for assessing community benefits, and the relevant research to drive understanding and decision making around navigating the interconnected challenges around the deployment of clean energy projects.
