Energy Storage Takes Centre Stage

Jim Fonger, Vice President of Asset & Advanced Technology Development, Ameresco
As we began the push toward decarbonizing our society, renewable energies were naturally propelled into the spotlight. Solar and wind energies are now, arguably, mature technologies, and they’ve come down in price tremendously. Yet one problem remained unsolved: the intermittent nature of those renewable sources of energy.
Unsolved until now, that is. Nowadays, energy storage has rightfully taken centre stage, serving as the missing link between intermittent energy sources and reliable supply. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
Jim Fonger joins EBPowerCon to demystify energy storage (whose roots go back a lot further than you’d think!), and explain how it is an integral component of distributed energy resources and microgrids… not to mention that energy storage is yet one more exciting technology bursting with opportunity for electrical professionals.
