For years, utilities slow-walked their approach to energy storage. A pilot here, a pilot there. Today, utilities want to own as much of the process as possible, undertaking development, engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance work on their own. But the playbook for utilities is far from written and the majority still rely on benchmarking with their peers to identify the best path forward.
This topic will explore how utilities are integrating, managing, and servicing energy storage assets, in addition to building out internal teams and customer programs around energy storage.
