This Twitter conversation will be about the current and future state of energy storage. It will specifically compare the role of storage in supporting versus defecting from the grid.
Major advances in materials science and improved manufacturing are driving down the cost and improving the performance of energy storage technologies at a rapid pace. With energy storage at the cusp, The Energy Collective will host a live Twitter conversation to explore the implications for electricity systems and markets:
- Will storage be support a smarter, more integrated power grid, help integrate renewables, and avoid the need for expensive peaking power plants?
- Or will cheap storage spark widespread "grid defection," allowing people to install their own distributed generation and batteries and effectively “cut the cord” on the modern electricity grid?
