Dr. Erik Spoerke, a former Materials Lead in the Sandia Energy Storage program and now Senior Analytics Advisor with the DOE Office of Electricity (OE), gave a keynote presentation, at the 14th Annual Capture the Energy Conference and Expo sponsored by New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY BEST), held May 14-16, 2024, in Albany, NY. Dr. Spoerke’s presentation titled “Generational Electrical Energy Transformation through the DOE Office of Electricity” provided an overview of how the DOE and the OE are working to develop initiatives and drive technical innovation, technology advancement, and commercial deployment of domestic energy storage.
New York is a state leader in the advance of energy storage demonstration and deployment, and this presentation provided insights to key stakeholders into how state efforts may be connected to larger national initiatives toward energy storage deployment.
The New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium, provides resources and expertise for energy storage-related stakeholders active and growing in New York. Additionally, NY-BEST bills itself as a rapidly growing, industry-led, coalition of corporate, entrepreneurial, academic, and government partners building a vibrant, world-class advanced battery and energy storage sector in New York State.
