Time: Refreshments start at 6pm, talk commences at 6:30pm

Massachusetts has launched an Energy Storage Initiative to help bring the benefits of energy storage to the Commonwealth and to make Massachusetts a national leader in the deployment of these innovative energy technologies. The Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and Clean Energy Center (CEC) released the State of Charge Study in 2016, which documented the benefits of energy storage for Massachusetts as well as the challenges in achieving the benefits. Customized Energy Solutions (CES), a nationally recognized consulting firm in the energy storage and broader energy space, was the lead consultant on the State of Charge Study and will present on the current status and outlook for the energy storage market in the Commonwealth and the country.
