Unlocking batteries as a secret weapon for climate impact

​Mark your calendars for September 26, 2024, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Join WattCarbon, Tierra Climate, Copper, and Scale Microgrids for a Climate Week conversation on the carbon-cutting power of battery storage followed by happy hour.

The schedule:
5:30 PM panel discussion starts
6:15-7:00 PM drinks

​​Load growth is one of today’s most talked about challenges in meeting our clean energy goals. 

​​Virtual power plants - particularly battery storage - will be essential in managing load growth with carbon-free energy, transforming intermittent wind and solar energy into clean, reliable power for our 24/7 needs.

​​While energy storage is expanding rapidly, surging from 4 gigawatts (GW) in 2021 to 17GW in 2023, estimates show that the U.S. grid will need 200-400 GW of energy storage to reach Net Zero emissions. 

​​Why are batteries such a powerful solution? And how do we make sure batteries are deployed effectively to maximize their impact?

Join us to explore the many ways batteries are being used to cut carbon emissions and manage demand, and how corporate sustainability can accelerate battery deployment.
