The National Consortium for the Advancement of Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Technologies recently held its national launch webinar. More than 1200 people registered the webinar, during which the goals, deliverables, and timeline for the three-year, DOE-funded initiative LDES National Consortium were summarized. Led by Principal Investigator Will McNamara from Sandia National Laboratories, the LDES National Consortium presently consists of more than 150 participating organizations, representing diverse stakeholder perspectives from across the LDES ecosystem, including technology developers, manufacturers & suppliers, investors, utilities, policymakers, academia, researchers, and more. Together, the LDES National Consortium aims to identify barriers, determine potential synergies, and collaboratively develop and promote the implementation of strategies necessary to achieve the commercialization of a wide range of LDES technologies within the next decade. The LDES National Consortium continues to welcome new partners. To watch the webinar recording, learn more, and join this important initiative, visit https://ldesconsortium.sandia.gov/.
