One of the most pressing issues within the energy sector is how "green"
energy can be stored and used during peak electricity times. A recent
NY Times article highlighted several industry leaders competing to
fill the gap, including Beacon Power Corp and San Diego Gas and
Electric. Both companies will be presenting at IQPC's
Energy Storage Summit. The Summit will take place from October 27-29
in Washington, DC.
John Kluza, Analyst-at-Large at GTM Research and a speaker at the Energy
Storage Summit, recently authored a report called Grid
Scale Energy Storage: Technologies and Forecasts Through 2015,
stressing the room for growth in the energy storage industry. Congress
is working on legislation that will require an increase in renewable
energy and eight states have already passed renewable energy standards
encouraging its widespread application.
Using federal loans and smart grid stimulus money, several companies are
working to find a balance between power supply and demand using
renewable resources. Companies including PSEG Corp, Constellation Energy
and Edison Mission Energies will be in attendance at the conference.
Other government agencies and high-level decision makers such as the
U.S. Department of Energy will also give presentations.
"This event will provide a timely forum for utilities, investors,
officials and solution providers to strategize on the future of these
promising applications in a no holds barred working group," said
Christopher Boucher, Program Director for IQPC's Energy Storage Summit.
The two-day main conference will feature project case studies,
stakeholder-driven panels, peer-to-peer roundtables, executive level
dialogue and networking opportunities to help you overcome the current
and future challenges in energy storage implementations.
