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.
In this hourlong virtual discussion with expert panelists, the session will 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 communities. It will also cover how the new statewide framework, the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (CRGA), impacts storage projects, what the safety record and standards are, and what the new Illinois law requires at the local level.
Feeling confused about energy storage? Not sure why it matters or whether it is good or bad? Confused about why you are suddenly hearing about it in the news? This session offers an opportunity to hear the facts and ask questions that matter to you and your neighbors.
The organizers aim to help communities make sense of this important and evolving topic. Register today to join the virtual discussion.
