Staff Workshop on Strategies to Model Long Duration Storage

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a workshop to solicit feedback about a study conducted by The Regents of the University of California, Merced (UC Merced) focused on (a) long-duration storage technologies, (b) how the choice of renewable energy technologies affects the needed storage, and (c) how these provide a foundation for modeling the multiple roles of storage in California’s evolving grid.

The workshop will be held remotely, consistent with Assembly Bill 361 (Rivas, Chapter 165, Statutes of 2021) to improve and enhance public access to state agency proceedings during the COVID-19 pandemic by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options. The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the direction provided below. Please note that the CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted and the end time is an estimate based on the agenda proposed. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time depending on various factors.
